Definition

Characterizes the communication partner. Partner type and partner number identify the partner uniquely.

Use

The partner type determines which partner master data the IDoc interface reads.

You can define your own partner types.

Examples

Your EDI partner is the vendor '4711'. Then

  • partner number = '4711' and
  • partner type = 'LI' (vendor).

Your ALE partner is an SAP system addressed via RFC by your system under the name 'ID3MDT800' (logical name). Then

  • partner number = 'ID3MDT800' and
  • partner type = 'LS' ('logical system').
