XML Templates

The IDoc class of ERPConnect offers support for both the IDoc schema and IDoc data located in XML-files.

The IDoc-Schema-Generator provided by ERPConnect generates an XML file that can be used to load IDoc schemas.
Loading IDoc schemas via XML usually has higher performance than loading them via CreateIdoc or CreateEmptyIdoc, because no SAP connection is necessary.

Create XML Templates

1. Run the IdocSchemaGenerator.exe in the ERPConnect directory C:\Program Files\ERPConnect to start the IDoc-Schema-Generator.
2. Enter the IDoc type you want to generate. If needed, enter enhancements.
   
3. Click [Generate Now!].
4. The window "SAP Login" opens. Enter your SAP credentials and click [OK].
5. Save the XML file to your local hard drive.
