Overview

Uplatz offers this comprehensive training on SAP IDOC module. This is video-based online course (self-paced training). You will be awarded Course Completion Certificate at the end of the course.

IDOC (intermediate document) is a standard data structure used in SAP applications to transfer data to and from SAP system applications and external systems. Using IDocs, companies with SAP ERP systems, for example, can exchange data with external entities like their partners or customers. IDOC is simply a data container used to exchange information between any two processes that can understand the syntax and semantics of the data. It exchanges data using Application Link Enabling (ALE) processes.

In summary, IDoc is a standard data structure for electronic data interchange (EDI) between application programs written for the popular SAP business system or between an SAP application and an external program. IDocs serve as the vehicle for data transfer in SAP's Application Link Enabling (ALE) system. Using IDocs, companies with SAP ERP systems, for example, can exchange data with external entities like their partners (Customers, Suppliers, Logistic Providers etc.).

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
