Definition

Characterizes the communication partner. The partner type and the 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 creditor '4711'. Then

  • the partner number is = '4711' and
  • the partner type is = 'LI' (vendor/creditor).

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

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