Hi Sahil,

WELCOME TO SDN.

Check this info.

<b>ALE</b> means of creating and operating distributed applications.

Application Link Enabling (ALE) guarantees a distributed, but integrated, R/3 installation. This involves business-controlled message exchange using consistent data across loosely linked SAP applications.

Applications are integrated using synchronous and asynchronous communication - not by using a central database.

ALE consists of the following layers:

Application services

Distribution services

Communication services

Refer

http://www.sappoint.com/abap/ale.pdf

http://www.sappoint.com/abap/ale2.pdf

Check this link

In simple words, ALE is used within the organization and EDI is used betn. the business partners.

For eg: in ALE, when you want other branches of your company to have the same data as your main branch. You transport the data through ALE methodology.

Whereas, EDI is used for communication betn ur co. & bank or co. & transport co., etc.

If the other end does not have SAP, then a middle layer like MERCATOR is used to convert SAP data to non-SAP data and vice-versa.

The basic difference is that ALE is the SAP technology for communications and you do not have to depend on 3rd party sofywares for the communication. EDI is the technology which requires you to define/create a sub-system that enables data transfers and these subsystems are 3rd party tools.

Please check this PDF documents for ALE and IDoc.
