EDI Output Type error

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have an output type ZSVC for sales contracts of a type. When I try to assign the output type ZSVC before saving the sales contract, I get the following error,

Maintain outgoing EDI-connection data for partner

Any idea what it could be. I have maintained the partner profile for that customer, with the requisite data.

Hi Vijay,

You must configure EDI partners to assign Customer /Vendor to sales org dat.

To do that goto SPRO and configure EDI partners.

Thanks & Regards,

Hey do we have to configure EDI Partners only for type of application - Sales V1.

Because there is a customer for whom this EDI partners thing is not configured, but the output type is triggering properly even then. But now the output is for billing document V3 type. O/P Type is RD00 in this case.

Bec, already you are maintaining settings for that particular customer it is working for you.

Hi,

I have a billing document with a customer for whom EDI Partner data is not maintained. But the output type RD00 which is configured for EDI is getting triggered. What doubt I have is, that do we have to configure EDI Partner data only for EDI related to sales documents and not billing documents.

Maintain outgoing EDI-connection data for partner

Message no. VN032

Diagnosis

The system could not locate the EDI partner agreements (outbound) for

partner .

System Response

You cannot use transmission medium 'EDI' with this partner.

Procedure

Maintain the EDI partner agreements for partner . Make sure to create

entries for output control as well as for outbound parameters.

This is the error I get again and again. I have however maintained the partner data in SPRO EDI Partners - >

Any bright idea guys...

May be you should use WE20 to define partner profile..

Hope this helps.

Hey in the partner profile, for a customer, outbound parameters, message control, if I make two entries this problem is not occurring. It is going ahead and processing the IDOC. Just check and tell me, if I am right.

Or is it the case that when we use EDI, instead of specifying a port, we specify an output port for a file.

Hi,

You need to do all the necessary config in VK01 and NACE. Most of the EDI related config is done in SPRO where you define the access sequence, conditions , etc. Refer to the Book by Arvind Nagpal for EDI related queries. It is a Prima Tech Publication and is named: ALE, EDI and IDOC Technologies for SAP. There is also an article by Arpit Nigam in SDN but it is mostly ALE related.

Hi Aveek,

I have already referred the book by Arvind Nagpal many times, by now the book's byheart... My problem was very specific, and hey VK01 and NACE are one and the same. I had a strange problem in EDI Config. I cleared it by myself.

Regards,

Vijay
