A business object for a ALE IDoc consists of two child objects: a Control Record object and a Data Record object.
The Control Record object, which the enterprise service discovery wizard generates automatically for you, contains the metadata required by the adapter to process the business object.
The Data Record object contains the actual business object data to be processed by the SAP software application, as well as the metadata required by the adapter to convert the business object to an IDoc structure for the RFC call. The top level of the Data Record business object corresponds to the basic IDoc type. This top-level business object contains an attribute that represents a child business object or an array of child business objects (one for each IDoc segment). The structure and hierarchy of the child business objects match that of the IDoc segments in the basic IDoc type.
The following diagram illustrates the business object structure of a ALE IDoc.
