Is there a way to search within IDocs using a purchase order number?

How do I search a sales order in IDoc based on the purchase order (PO) number? I am scanning each IDoc one by one using we02. Is there an easier way?

Depending on your release, you could write a program to go through table EDID4 (or similar), map the SDATA to your segment, and therefore search programmatically for the PO number. Use table EDIDC to limit the selection, or you'll have a very long running program.

IDocs used in CRM but called from R/3 I need help regarding the IDoc (from the R/3 system) that the CRM system calls while creating an outbound delivery for a sales order created in CRM. I see the 'Transaction Type', 'Ext', 'Reference Cust.' and 'Delivery Control' fields in CRM. But I need these fields copied to R/3 in the tables LIKP and LIPS. The process of creating the outbound delivery is automatic, meaning when a sales order is created and saved in CRM the delivery is created in R/3 (note: the order is not moved to R/3 and only 'Delivery' is created). I need the IDoc used by the CRM system to post the outbound delivery (also any BADIs) so that I can extend the IDoc segments and use the BADI to populate the data.
