SAP Action - Send IDoc

This action allows you to send IDoc to an on-premise SAP system, or to an SAP system on a server behind the corporate firewall. You must configure IDocs in your SAP system before using this action.

Input fields

Field name	Description
IDoc name	The IDoc to send. You can select an IDoc name from the picklist or enter IDoc name directly. The picklist only displays IDocs that are configured in the partner profile in your SAP system.
Wait for SAP to process the IDoc?	IDoc is processed asynchronously in SAP. So you can configure the recipe to wait for the processing to finish before moving on to the next recipe step.
Check IDoc status every	This field will appear if Wait for SAP to process the IDoc is set to Yes. Select how often Workato should call SAP. This is useful when you want to control the workload of your SAP system.

After IDoc is selected, you can select IDoc input segments and fields. In this example, E1MARAM and EDI_DC40 are selected.

Default IDoc parameters

Workato provides the following default values for EDI_DC40 segments. Beginning with OPA version 22.2, providing values for the following attributes in EDI_DC40 segments overrides the default values. Other fields in the EDI_DC40 segment are empty by default.
