IDoc Extensions and Enhancements: Custom Segments and Extension Types (WE30, WE31, WE82)

When a partner needs a field SAP does not send, teams extend the IDoc. This course covers the extend-or-map decision, custom segments in WE31, extension types in WE30, wiring them with WE82, WE20 and WE57, filling and reading them in customer exits such as MM06E001, LVEDF001, V56K0001, MRMH0002 and VEDA0001, and clean-core guidance on keeping extensions small, documented and regression-tested.
