<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:blue'>Torsten, you could use a "duplicate documents" logic to
match them - i.e. invoice amount, currency, document date, vendor id,
material/service number, etc (Invoice amount, date and vendor are usually
enough to match 99%), but i've actually just thought of a better way to
handle it:</span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:blue'>You can do the following: Develop a FM to match the
posted invoices and set it as the Check FM for the BKPF-POSTED event (you may
need to setup FICO business event to generate it). Set it as "Check
FM" so it'll kick out in the same session as the posting transaction
itself(!!). Inside your check FM you can use
cl_swf_evt_requester=>get_workitem to retrieve the active workitem id and
check the associated task and worklfow to make sure it's your IDOC posting WF
and not something else. If you got the right workitem it means
that your check FM was kicked out from the posting being processed
inside the IDOC posting workflow - i.e. you can be 100% certain that the
document that is being posted comes from the IDOC workflow... - You got a
match! </span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:blue'>Next, store the posted document number and the IDOC number
(from the workitem container) somewhere (in cluster or whatever) and complete
your check FM without raising an event. Then, back in you IDOC processing
workflow - after completion of the posting step retrieve the posted
document number from the location where you have stored it previously from your
check FM. Last step - you can match IDOC numbers to make sure you got the right
one. </span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:blue'>... instead of the Check FM you can also use a user-exit or BADI
exit if available.</span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p>

(Control record) and
EDID4(Data): every record has a segment name - you
can use it to map the SDATA field content.</span><span

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Actually you describes exactly
what I’m trying to do! So, I guess my 64,000 dollar questions would be: how do
you link the data from a posted document to a IDOC document? The IDOC does not
contain the info of the posted document (other than a number in the message,
which is ugly and not really good to use). What is the IDOC table names
you are referring below? In what table does SAP store the segment name and the
segment value linked together?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Hello WUGers,<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>We are currently implementing a IDOC scenario with SAP

way to retrieve<o:p></o:p></p>
