IDOC Setup

Question

Dear Experts,
I need to do a IDOC setup for inbound IDOCS in SAP ERP.
After doing all the steps I think I have, I use We19 to do get an IDOC using an existing one and modifying the sender and receiver. I try to find the Functional module for inbound idocs which I dont seem to.What steps I have to do to ensure this that when I use my new defined message type linked to the Functional Module.
After I execute the IDOC I get a message EDI: Receiver port in control record is invalid.
I have maintained the partner profile (We20)also with new logical system which is sender (outside of SAP) to the SAP which es already defined as a port.
EDI: Partner profile not available
Need your help

Hi Andy,
check the ALE settings again:
Here is a quick guide for you:
First of all you need two logical systems, one will act as sender and other as reciever .
1)Define logical systems through BD54.
2) Assign clients to logical systems (SCC4)
3) Create RFC Destination (SM59)
4) create port(we21)
5) Create Partner profile
If all these steps are done then go to BD64, there
1) Create Model view
2) Mention your sender and Reciever for that Model (logical systems)
3) Mention The message type
4) Distribute your model view through Environment -> Distribute
If model view is distributed sucessfully that means messages can flow sucessfully between two systems. To ensure your your model view is distributed sucessfully, take special care while setting up partner profiles in sending and recieving system.
Now please ensure that you have not missed any step and all steps are carried out sucessfully.
