In other words, an IDOC is like a data file with a specified format which is exchanged between 2 systems which know how to interpret that data. IDOC stands for " Intermediate Document" When we execute an outbound ALE or EDI Process, an IDOC is created. In the SAP System, I DOCs are stored in database. Every IDOC has a unique number(within a client). In this tutorial you will learn: What is an IDOC? Structure of an IDOC IDOC Types What is a Segment? What is Extension IDOC type? IDOC Views Partner Profiles Port The Outbound Process The Inbound Process Key Features IDOCs are independent of the sending and receiving systems.(SAP-to-SAP as well as Non-SAP) IDOCs are based on EDI standards, ANSI ASC X12 and EDIFACT.

Difference Between ALE and EDI in SAP ABAP The main difference between ALE and EDI is ALE used for internal communications within the SAP Environment and EDI is meant for external communications that is communicating with Non-systems. ALE(Application Link Enabling): ALE is technology for SAP ,is used to transfer data between SAP systems . ALE is used to support integrated processes across several SAP systems . ALE includes controlled exchange of data messages guarantying  data consistency across loosely coupled applications. ALE consists three layers which are Application Services  , Distribution Services and Communication Services. ALE provides a distributed and fully integrated R/3 system. Each application is self-capable. The use of self-capable system implies a certain measure of data redundancy.Hence data has to be both distributed and synchronized. ALE uses an IDOC format to exchange data between systems, both participating systems should ...

ALE is a technology that can enable the exchange of data between two different Systems ( Sap - Sap OR Sap - Non Sap). ALE architecture has the  3 layers :  Application layer related to the application data ( SD, MM, FI, or data for any SAP application ).  The distribution layer decides to whom should the data generated by the application layer has to be distributed Communication layer responsible for delivering the Idoc to the receiving system and communicates to the receiving system via RFC, File ports, FTP or TCP/IP, etc. ALE uses IDoc as a vehicle to transfer data between two systems. What are the Advantages...

What is an EDI and ALE:  IDocs are text encoded documents with a rigid structure that are used to exchange data between R/3 and a foreign system.Therefore an IDoc data exchange is always an asynchronous pro...
