Hi Friends,
Recently i got a chance to work on one interface where PO is required to be sent to Third Party System. This transmission was done through IDOC. In this blog, i will show you the manual steps to generate IDOC for PO and also Automatic settings.
Note - In this blog i have shown example for specific vendor 1234. But in Partner profile setup i have used LogitechSYS. Difference is explained in detail in later steps.

Below is the scope of this blog.
Go to ME23N. Open purchase order. You can see Messages Tab. Click on that button.
If you see below IDOC is already Created. Status is green. It means IDOC generation is completed. But how is this done. First, I will explain you manual process from PO. Then I will take you to MN05 to make settings for automatic generation
Make PO in Change mode and come to below screen. Enter fields for yellow line as shown below. Click on Further Data. If you see the Function it is VN. Why VN is selected and what is the difference between VN and LS?
Select the option as shown below and come back.
Click on Save button.
After saving, click on Messages and see below line. Its green. Click on processing log.
Idoc number is displayed. Copy that idoc number and go to WE02. It will be generated.
2. Automatic Generation
Go to MN05. Provide output type and Press Enter. Now question is where this output type is comes from? It comes from NACE transaction code. MM consultants can guide you through this process.
You will have multiple option. I have created for 1st option but prefer 2nd one. Keep it very simpler.
Provide details as below and execute.
Provide below inputs and save. Now you will be able to generate IDOC automatically when PO is saved.
Below screenshot is for LS Function
Now let us understand from where values in below screenshots are coming. There are 3 values you can see
Go to Transaction code NACE. Click on EF as shown below screenshot. Click on Output types.
Click on Output types and click on New Entries. This is already configured so ‘New Entries’ Won’t Appear.
Click as shown in screenshot and select your languages. Just do F4 and select. Its standard
Click on Processing Routines and select the entries.
Click on Partner function. And maintain the entries. You can select your own entries. 
Click on Procedures. You will see below screen. Select the line as shown below. 
Click on Control. Click on New Entries and Select EDI Purchase order. Give the Step number.
Note – After this configuration you will be able to see the ZPO entry in MN05.
Go to WE20. See below screen. We have created the Partner profile. This is must for Idoc Configuration. If this is not done, idoc will fail.
Put information as shown below. ME10 is nothing but instruction to system as to which document is to be converted to IDOC.
Suppose your idoc does not have required field to send to third party, how will you get this in IDOC. For e.g., Cost Center. So you can use the Extension functionality. Generally, this is done by technical team. You just need to tell the technical team for your requirement, and they will get this field in the IDOC. I will take you through the steps of extension so that when you get a task, it would be easy for you.
Below are the options where you can add the field. You need to provide appropriate line to add the field.
If you see below screenshot, you can see the GL, Cost Center etc are added.
Now you go to WE20 and modify your Partner no. If you see below the extension field, you need to assign your newly created extension here. Post that your additional details will be seen in IDOC.
I hope you liked this document.
