Hi all!
My client uses IDOC file transfers for vendor payments. It currently works fine.
There is a new requirement to add a connection to a new bank. The file layout of this new bank requires us to extend the characters of the current IDOC segment (actual size is 400 we need to generate a new layout with 500).
Instead of creating a new IDOC segment type, we just changed the data element of the related IDCO segment but the change did not take effect.
In WE31 transaction we generated a new version for the segment type. It shows the new version with the new size but the IDCO is still transferred with the old length - we see the file in PI (SXI_MONITOR) as 400 characters. This is not a problem in PI, since the type for the segment is a generic 'string'.
My guess is that there is some configuration missing around the IDOC type/segment.
What else could I do to transfer 500 characters?
Thanks in advance!
