<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=671452605-30052007><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>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:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=671452605-30052007><FONT face=Arial

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=671452605-30052007><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>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</FONT></SPAN><SPAN
class=671452605-30052007><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2> - i.e. you
can be 100% certain that the document that is being posted comes from the IDOC
workflow... - You got a match! </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=671452605-30052007><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>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. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=671452605-30052007><FONT face=Arial

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>
