IDoc Structure

As illustrated below, IDocs are structured to contain multiple units of work. Each unit of work initiates with an E1EDL20 segment and also contains one instance of EDI_DC40 (the IDoc header), a Z1BILL_DOC segment, and a BELNR segment. The invoice number (BELNR) is the common factor of all of these shipments. The shipments are all on the same truck bound for the same distribution center. Each shipment is marked for the destination store. The accompanying invoice is sent to the trading partner in summary form and it details all items sent with a total quantity, regardless of the store breakdown. The invoice mimics the purchase order with the omission of the SDQ segments.
