Configuring scenario to add Sender Party to a message from an IDoc

Question

I want to make sure that when an IDoc is received in the XI system, the message Sender Party is populated. Currently I am trying to do this by associating the IDoc communication channel with a Business Service with a party. I was expecting that this would then force the message to adapt that party as the sender party, but this does not seem to be working.
In the header of the xml message I get this:
<SAP:Sender>
  <SAP:Service>EQ1CLNT210</SAP:Service>
  <SAP:Interface namespace="urn:sap-com:document:sap:idoc:messages">ZINVOIC_CU.INVOIC02</SAP:Interface>
</SAP:Sender>
EQ1CLNT210 is the system that the IDoc is sent from, but the Service with Party that I am using has no <Party> subelement in the <Sender> element.
Am I doing this correct, or am I missing a step?
BR,
Tony.

Please cross check your steps with the list below,
if the problem persists, check the metadata
For File to IDOC,
in R/3
1.create rfc connection using sm59
2.create Logical sys using bd54
3.create port using we21
4.create partner profile using we20
in xi
1.create rfc connection using sm59
2.create Logical sys using bd54
3.create port using IDX!
for IDOC to FIle
R/3 side
1.create rfc connection using sm59
2.create Logical sys using bd54
3.create port using we21
4.create partner profile using we20
5.distribute busynessmodel using bd64
for xi side
1.create rfc connection using sm59
2.create Logical sys using bd54
3.create port using IDX!
4.create partner profile using we20
