The philosophical difference between EDI and ALE can be pinned as follows: If we send data to an external partner, we generally speak of EDI, while ALE is a mechanism to reliable replicate data between trusting systems to store a redundant copy of the IDoc data. The difference is made clear, when we think of a purchase order that is sent as an IDoc. If we send the purchase order to a supplier then the supplier will store the purchase order as a sales order. However, if we send the purchase order via ALE to another R/3 system, then the receiving system will store the purchase order also as a purchase order.

For more information please follow the link:

ALE is a technology to transfer data from one system to another.

for this go to transaction sm59(to do settings between sender and receiver)->bd64

(create model view to define sender,receiver and message type and distribute it)->

generate partner profile->bd10(to send idoc)->bd11(to receive idoc).

Please award points if helpful.
