Definition

Key that, together with the partner type, uniquely identifies the communication partner

Use

The partner number is assigned when you create a master record (for example, in sales). This "number" can also contain letters (it is an alphanumeric key).

Examples

Your EDI partner is the vendor '4711'. In this case:

  • The partner number is '4711'.
  • The partner type is 'LI' (vendor).

Your ALE partner is an SAP system that is addressed by your system (using RFC) with the name 'ID3MDT800' (logical name). In this case:

  • The partner number is 'ID3MDT800'.
  • The partner types is 'LS' (logical system).
