Keep this: job aid

Inbound EDI order checklist (850 / ORDERS to sales order)

• ORDERS05 header: E1EDK01 general, E1EDK14 org data (008 sales org, 007 channel, 006 division, 012 order type), E1EDK03 dates (002 requested delivery), E1EDKA1 partners (AG, WE), E1EDK02 references (001 customer PO number and date).
• Items: E1EDP01 quantity and unit, E1EDP19 material (001 customer's number, 002 supplier's number), E1EDP20 schedule lines, E1EDP05 conditions.
• Sales area and order type: E1EDK14 if sent, else EDSDC (VOE2: customer + Contoso's supplier number at the customer).
• External partner codes (ship-to locations): EDPAR (VOE4: customer + partner function + external number → internal number).
• Partner part numbers: customer-material info records (VD51, table KNMT) for the sales org and channel.
• Customer expected price: EDI1 (net price) or EDI2 (item value); a difference makes the order incomplete.
• WE20 inbound row: ORDERS, process code ORDE (IDOC_INPUT_ORDERS); ORDCHG uses ORDC.
• Status 51: read the message, fix master data or configuration, reprocess in BD87; never edit prices or quantities in the IDoc to make it post.
• Test pack: real partner samples, field-by-field comparison of 850 vs order, negative cases (unknown part, unknown ship-to, duplicate PO, price mismatch).
