Hi ,

you can create Sales order through IDoc. IDOC_INPUT_ORDERS

At a high level, the IDOC processing executes in the following manner:

1. Interpret IDOC header segments and captures organizational, customer master and purchase

order header details. Performs user exits for each segment to process customizations to data

processing.

2. Interprets item level segments and captures item level details like material information. Again,

it performs user exits for each segment.

3. Sums up the order data and determines the posting criterion viz. creating order with reference

etc.

4. Builds up batch data communication sequence (BDC) with respect to the required screen

sequence of posting a sales order.

5. While building up the BDC data, system performs user exit to process customizations to BDC

data.

6. Calls transactions VA01 using the BDC data.

7. If the processing fails, an appropriate workitem is generated for workflow processing.

if you give me brief i can help you out more.

if helpful REWARD points

Thank you .
