16.3.4 Partner Profile
The next question is: how is this IDoc type processed? The first thing you need to
do is create a partner profile for your EDI and IDoc partners. To do this, besides
some technical data, you also have to specify a process code. This process code
expresses what you intend do to with this partner. Start the partner profile process
using Transaction WE20. On the Message Control tab, link the output type to the
process code for each individual IDoc type that you have agreed with this partner
(see Figure 16.13).
The process code is permanently linked to a program (function module) that is
called when an IDoc comes in or when an IDoc is created by means of the output
type. The following is a simplified description of how an outbound IDoc is
processed.
An output is created in the sales document. This output type is set as an EDI output.
Then, the system searches for a partner profile for the individual partner roles
in the document. In doing so, it searches for a process code for this output type.
Once it finds this process code, the processing program for this process code is
called, and this program creates the IDoc. After the IDoc is created, the status of
the output is set to green in the sales document.
