What is ALE/IDOC?

ALE (Application Link Enabling) and IDoc (Intermediate Document) are SAP technologies used for distributed communication between SAP systems or between SAP and non-SAP systems. ALE establishes a distributed but integrated system landscape, while IDocs serve as the data containers for transferring data between systems. IDocs are structured text documents that adhere to a specific format defined by SAP. Common uses include master data distribution (e.g., material master, customer master), transactional data exchange (e.g., sales orders, purchase orders), and integration with EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) systems.
