Objective
Business data is exchanged with an external system using the IDoc Interface.
The IDoc Interface consists of the definition of a data structure and a processing logic for this.
IDocs. are the exchange format that unites the communicating systems. Using IDocs you can define an exception
handling within the SAP System using SAP Business Workflow, without the need for the data to already be an
SAP application document.
You require the IDoc Interface in the following scenarios:
·        Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)
·        Application Link Enabling (ALE)
·        Linking to any other business application systems (for example, PC applications, external workflow tools)
using IDoc.

Users should be able to find IDocs not only via the address information or control information in the control
record but also according to the business data they contain. You also want to be able to answer questions such
as: "Which IDocs contain purchase orders for my material XY?"
The IDoc search function can be used to answer such questions. You can search for IDocs both in the database
and in archive files.
Use this procedure to search for IDOC transactions in the active database.  Transactions can be searched using
numerous criteria as shown in the screens below.

Trigger
Perform this procedure when performing diagnostics or searches of IDOCs.

·        IDOCs have been created by the system and exist in the database.

conducted.Example:        07/20/2004

5.        The function searches for character strings, that is, you must enter the value of a segment field as it appears in the
field itself (avoiding full stops and commas whenever possible).
You can enter a maximum of two values in two segment fields as selection criteria. If two values are entered, both must
exist in the IDoc in the corresponding segment fields for the IDoc to be included in the list of results (normal AND link in
selection fields).
You can also choose to only give the value instead of the segment field. This means that all data records (more precisely: the
field SDATA in the data records) are searched for the character string, that is, the character string which is found may span
several segment fields.
6.        Click   .to initiate search.
