HI

The partner profile is used to validate the sender and receiver system for a given message type and to assign to the correspondence process code (function module) to post the IDoc to application system.

Hi

Check this it may help you.

<b>Generating Partner Profiles in the Sending System</b>

When you have created the distribution model, you must tell the participating systems how ALE is to execute the transfer the data. This is done in the partner profiles.

First, generate the partner profiles in the sending system (LOGSYS0100). To do this, log on to the relevant logical system.

In the R/3 Implementation Guide under Basis, choose:

Application Link Enabling (ALE)

Modeling and Implementing Business Processes

Partner Profiles and Processing Time

Generate Partner Profiles

Enter GETSTART as the name of your distribution model.

Without changing the parameters proposed by the system, execute the program.

The partner profiles required have now been generated on the sending system.

Hai pinky,

Logical System name is used to indiacte the application system to which you are ging to send the data.

Partner profiles use the above Logical System name to determine the system to which the data is to be sent ie you have to tell wether inbound or outbound.

Suppose If you are doing IDOC to File scenario ,have to mention the Outbound Parameter in we20 ie IDOC message type name.

Just have a look at these links:

Hi,

The purpose of Partner profiles is that it is the source of the definition for what you are trying to output, and where it is going or where it is coming from.

For example, if you want to send a purchase order to a supplier, the outbound message defines the message type and IDoc type for the output. Without that, there would be no definition of what the output should look like.

In short, they relate the business rules to the output of the message. Without it, the business document will not have any framework for creating the output.
