Answer 1

I mentioned very briefly about how to create outbound INVOIC. "Reward point if useful".
Complete configuration information.
1) In the Command field, enter transaction V/54 and choose Enter (or in
the IMG, choose Sales and Distribution>Basic Functions>Output
Control>Output Determination>Output Determination Using the
Condition Technique-->Maintain Output Determination for Billing
Documents-->Maintain access sequences).
2) On the Change View “Access Sequence (Output Billing)”.
3) Choose the desired access sequence (for example, YPCC, Sales
organization).
--> Choose Accesses.
4) On the Change View “Accesses (Output Billing)”.
  a)Add the Sales Organization/Customer Number access above the
    existing Sales Org. access.
  b)In the Requirement column, enter a requirement.
  c) Select the Exclusive checkbox for the first access.
  d) Choose Save.
5) EDI Specific configuration.
Configuring for EDI involves the following two steps:
-->Condition record (output determination)
-->Outbound partner profile
Condition record(Output determination)
This section outlines the configuration steps required for each
customer you wish to send an invoice via EDI.
Creating a condition record for the specific customer sets up output
determination to generate an EDI message whenever an invoice is
created for that customer.
1)-->To access the Create Output – Condition Records screen, in the Command
field, enter transaction VV31 and choose Enter (or choose Logistics -->
Sales and distribution --> Master data --> Output --> Billing document -->
Create).
2)--> On the Create Output – Condition Records: Billing screen:
     a) Enter RD00 in Output type.
     b)Choose Key combination.
3) On the Key Combination popup window:
     a) Select Sales Organization/Customer Number.
     b) Choose Enter.
4) On the Create Condition Records (Invoice): Fast Entry screen:
     a)Enter the customer number in Customer.
     b)Enter RE in PartF.
     c)Enter 6 in Medium.
     d)Enter 4 in Time.
     e)Enter EN in Language.
     f)Choose Save.
5)Maintain partner profile.
The setup of a partner profile for each specific EDI customer allows
you to define the EDI-specific information the system needs when
generating the outbound IDocs.
Go to transaction WE20.
a)Select the customer (partner) from the list.
b)Choose outbound parameter.
c) MG On the New Entries: Details of Added Entries screen:
6)Enter RE in Partn.funct.
     a) Enter INVOIC in Message type.
     b)Enter the port name in Receiver port.
     c) Under Output mode, select Transfer IDoc immed.
     d) Enter INVOIC02 in Basic type.
     e)Enter US in Typ.
     f) Enter EN in Lang.
     h) Enter the user ID in ID.
On the Change View “Partner profiles: message Control”: Overview
screen, choose New entries.
-->On the New Entries: Details of Added Entries screen:
     a)Enter V3 in Application.
     b) Enter RD00 in Message type.
     c) Enter SD09 in Process code.
