Create SO from PO Output (IDOC)

Question

Hi
we need to create an SO in company code XYZ from the PO output IDOC( Message NEU ) of another company code ABC.
Im trying to create the SO in the same System and same client , but in a Different Company code.
I have already configured in this way:
we have maintained VENDOR partner role to PO output type NEU
**Partner profile:
Vendor Outbound:
Partner no.           272xxxx
Partn.Type            LI
Partn.funct.          VN
Message Type      ORDERS
Outbound parmtrs.
VN     ORDERS               
Receiver port        SAPEDI
Basic type           ORDERS05
Transfer idoc immediately
Message Control:
EF     NEU        ME10
Customer Inbound:
SP Orders 
Partner no.           254XXX
Partn.Type            KU
Partn.funct.          SP
Message type      ORDERS
WE45 Transaction :
Logical address
    DSN 00002725XX
Application                         EF
Destination in SAP system           GMC 00002541XX
But the IDoc created from the Outbound is having status '03'. so the Inbound function module is not receiving this IDOC.
Am i missing something here , to connect the Outbound to Inbound.?
Regards

Answer 1

I have created a new partner profile for the Inbound process under Partner Type 'LS', and the Outbound IDOC is forwarrded to the INBOUND with status "62", Which is what i wanted to achieve.( Same IDOC is forwarded to inbound process)
I suspect that you're saying that you still have two IDocs (this is what I would expect). Status 62 is kind of odd, because this should be at best a transitional status. So once IDoc is created and ready for processing it should be in status 64 and then move to some status like 53, 51 or something like 56 etc.
My question here is , My outbound partner profile is maintained under the Partner type Vendor, but why is the system expecting the Inbound partner profile to be maintained at partner type Logical system( LS)
Let's take a step back and try to see what happens. So your output type on the PO generates an outbound IDoc and you are using condition records that specify the vendor as the receiving partner (on the IDoc control record). So when SAP generates the IDoc it uses the partner you specified as the recipient (and thus expects a corresponding outbound partner profile based on this recipient) and by default SAP enters itself as the sending partner (i.e. LS with logical system name assigned to client).
Now your outbound port points back to the same system and thus generates basically an almost one-to-one copy of your outbound IDoc. Thus your inbound IDoc has still the vendor as the receiving partner and the logical SAP system name as the sending partner. Since for inbound partner profile only the sending partner matters, you have to create an inbound partner profile using the logical system name assigned to your SAP client.
If you prefer to utilize a different sending partner on your inbound IDoc, you could for example for outbound initial orders implement customer exit EXIT_SAPLEINM_001 and overwrite the default sending partner filled in by SAP.
