    • Work with SAP business entities that can only be created or changed using IDoc.

    This feature is available starting with the Zurich Patch 4 release.

    SAP still has some business entities that can only be created or changed using IDoc. In Zero Copy Connector for ERP, you can add IDoc entities to model operations and configure outbound messages. Monitor the asynchronous processing to obtain information about IDoc status and the business entity created or updated.

    Note:
    IDoc can only be used with create or update operations, not read operations.

    For details about IDoc, see the SAP support website IDoc information.

    You must have the sn_erp_integration.erp_admin role to create and edit models.

    Complete the following steps to work with IDoc entities in Zero Copy Connector for ERP:
    1. Manage partner profiles. For more information, see View Zero Copy Connector for ERP partner profile information.
    2. Explore the API for interacting with Zero Copy Connector for ERP models. For detailed information and examples for using the API, see sn_erp_integration API - Scoped, Global.
    3. Add an IDoc entity to a model. For more information, see Add an IDoc entity to a model operation.
    4. Create an outbound message. For more information, see Create an IDoc outbound message configuration in Zero Copy Connector for ERP.
    5. Manage IDoc outbound messages. For more information, see View and troubleshoot IDoc messages.
    Note:
    The Zero Copy Connector for ERP Monitor includes IDoc information on the asynchronous tabs. For more information about the Monitor, see Monitor Zero Copy Connector for ERP transactions and logged errors.
