IDOC structure not getting displayed

[Former Member]

hi,

I am new to IDOC and this is the first time i am creating one. I have created a structure in SE11.Then created a custom segment in we31.Went inside Segment->Create with reference.Put the Structure name in DDID and created the segment.Released it and added it to idoc,released basic type also.Now when i see the basic type,all SAP segments have the segment name,description and Structure name mentioned.But,for custom segment alone only the description of the segment is mentioned.The structure type doesn't seem to populate there.Can anyone help me with this.

Thanx

Hi,

Are you creating whole new custom idoc with custom segments OR creating a extension of existing idoc by adding custom segments?

Pleae mentioned step-by-step what have you done.

hi,

The idoc exists in one particular system.I am recreating the idoc in another system with 6 sap segments and one custom segment. For the sap segment the structure name gets populated when u see the basic idoc structue in we30. But,for the custom segment,only the segment name and description gets displayed not the strucuture name

Hi,

You release the custom segment that is correct, but you told before that you release basic type too. This is wrong. You have to release extension idoc.

Also, when you want to look at the idoc,

- Go to transaction WE30.

- Enter your Zidoc name ( extension ) idoc.

- Select radio button "extension'.

- Now hit display. You will see extension idoc with Z segment added.

Also you are saying that "But,for the custom segment,only the segment name and description gets displayed not the strucuture name ". What do you mean by this? What is the difference between 'segment name' and 'structure name'. What strucutre name are you talking about.

Also, make sure that segments are also released. ( you have mentioned that you did this but just double check ).

Let me know if you have any question.
