Partner Profiles

[Former Member]

Hi ,

In ALE/IDoc what is the significance of the partner type and why are there different partner types like Bank/Customer /Logical System e.tc.

What difference it makes if i create a partner profile as type<b> User</b> and use this to transfer material master details from one system to another , i feel generally it is said in such cases the partner must be of type Logical System.

hi

arun signifiacance of partner profiles:

it is to specify the characterstics of data that u exchange bet ween partner systems

in out bound u can define things what is message type what is output mode

what r the process code u r using (means process code contain function module)

to read application data and generates idoc in outbound

in inbound u can define things like process code which read idoc to gnerate application document

logical sytems r used when ur exchanging data bet weensap to sap systems when transferring master data

others r used bet ween sap to nan sap systems when ur transferring transactional data

hope this will give u some basic idea

reward if u find useful

Hi Nagesh ,

Thanks for the reply , i still have a query let me illustrate it with an example.

1) I make an RFC connection to the system i am working on.

2) Then create a port and set the RFC destination as the destination i created

3) Create a partner profile of type User.

4) Write a program to create an IDOC

Now when i execute the program , 2 idocs are created one outbound and the second inbound. But in the inbound idoc is shows an error that partner profile not available.

Not sure what can the error , as i have created the partner profile.

So my basic doubt was irrespective of the type of partner profile the idoc is created , so how does the processing differ based on the type of partner profile.

hi arun

after creating partner profiles

when u executed things

one master idoc will be generate

these master idoc will check with distribution model view

depends on reciepents it will generate communucation idocs

lets assume if there are two reciepents it will generate two communication idocs.

if there is any error in partner profile do consistency check with this prg

RSECHK07

above report gives u error report

if there is any in consistency in modelview

do consistency check with BDM5 tcode

hope this will resole u r problem

reward points if u find use ful

Hi Pavan ,

Could you explain it a bit more.

BD82 is transaction to Generate partner profile.

In the selection screen fior it there is a partner system that is nothing but a list of logical systems .But my partner is of type user.

Hi arun,

besides patner types LS we have vendor,cutomer like this...

Generaaly when we go for ALE we will take both the sending and receiving systems as LS.

But for EDI we go for vendor,customer like this.....

suppose i have 10 vendors and ineed to distribute the data to them then i can specify 10 vendors in WE20 and can send the data to them through EDI.

we distribute the material from SAP to SAP only,hence we go for ALE and hence we have to go for LS.
