IDoc configuration

Intermediate Document (IDoc) customization activates the IDocs you need for your business transactions.

An IDoc is a container for exchanging data between SAP and non‐SAP systems. IDocs are created when message types and object methods are distributed. The message type is the format in which the data for a business process is transferred.

The procedures for configuring IDocs for the integration between SAP and Maximo® include the following tasks:

Maintaining the customer distribution model
Generating partner profiles
Maintaining partner profiles
Activating change pointers
Defining variants for replication of modified master data

The IDocs that you activate in your system depend on the data that you want to send from SAP. The following table shows the IDoc types and the corresponding business processes.
