IDoc Acknowledgment
Use the IDoc Acknowledgment activity to update the IDoc status in the SAP system. The IDoc status can be updated for either positive or negative acknowledgments.
The ALEAUD message type along with the basic ALEAUD01 type is used for updating the IDoc status in the SAP system. Even though the ALEAUD01 IDoc supports the sending of multiple IDoc status updates, an ALEAUD01 IDoc is sent for each IDoc, which has to be updated in the SAP system.
