Inbound EDI multiple customers using 1 partner profile

I would think that it's possible to set up a single partner profile in WE20 through which you can process multiple idocs against multiple customers for order processing. Can anyone guide me on how to achieve this.
Thanks, Mart

Absolutely. You could have an EDI Partner called 'GENERIC' for example, and could use that to process inbound EDI Sales Orders. Obviously you would need an identifier to represent the correct Customer account, ideally this would be the Sold-to number. If it's not your Internal Sold-to, but another unique number, then you should be able to add mapping via transaction VOE4 to table EDPAR. I.e the Customers sends an external number 123 representing their Store Id, you map that back to your internal Customer Number. Only trouble with this is if two different Customers had the same external Id, as you would have no control over that. For our generic EDI Partners, the Customer Number is mandatory.

Post processing agent in partner profile

Hi
Inbound idoc fails. The partner profile has a user (US) in the post processing:permitted agent, both on the actual partner (LS) and on the inbound message type. I would expect to see the error in the inbox of the business workplace, but I see nothing! - what have I done wrong?
Cheers
Rob

Hi,
I think for this you have to configure the workflow notifications for inbound process.
Check if they are in place.
Check this link.

IDoc Receiver, Error in we02 - EDI: Partner profile inbound not available

Hi All,
I have a problem when creating a receiver IDoc from XI to R/3.
I have successfully tested the IDoc when populating the receiver information from the payload. However I want this information to be populated automatically based on the logical systems.
When I do this I get the following error in the IDoc in R/3:
EDI: Partner profile inbound not available
In the control record the sender information is all correct but in the recipient information the partner Number with type LS is populated, but port is not populated.
I have done the following steps.
 the sender is a Business Service so I have created a logical system directly adapter-specific identifiers in the sender service in the integration directory.
 In the receiver business system I have imported the logical system into the adapter-specific identifiers in the ID from that specified in the SLD.
 In the receiving R/3 system using SALE/BD54 I have created a logical system for the source system.
 In the receiving R/3 system using we20 I have created a partner profile of type LS with the same name as the source logical system.
 IN PI/XI system in transaction IDX1 Ive created a port (SAP<SID> where <SID> is the system ID of the receiving R/3 system) and the client of the R/3 system, and the RFC destination of that system (<SID>CLNT<clnt>, as specified in SM59).
 In the IDOC Adapter (receiver) I have entered the RFC destination and port matching those created above. All checkboxes are UN-checked eg. take sender from payload, take receiver from payload, Apply control record values from payload, etc. are all NOT checked.
I think that Ive done everything correctly, but I get the error in we02 in R/3: EDI: Partner profile inbound not available.
Any help will be greatly appreciated (and rewarded, obviously).
Thanks,
Matt.

HI Matt,
Can you please copy paste the exact error message....In your error message it will show you Exact partner Number / Logical System name and other parameters...just compared if you have all parameters set in your partner profile comparing to error message...
If you can giev screen shot of both..then probably would be easy to point out error.
Hope this will help.

Issue !!! Partner Profile Creation Using EDI !!!

Hi!
 Can anyone tell me whats the use of Message Code & Message Function for Creating Partner Profiles using EDI
 Transacion WE20 for EDI.
 Thanks.

Hi,
These fields can be used to differentiate between processing of the same message type. You can create several partner profiles using the same message type. By populating these fields, you are able to assign different process codes. Otherwise you are only allowed one entry for the message type.
For example, you need to setup two inbound partner profile for delivery advice. One is dealing with incoming shipment (process code DELS) and the other one dealing with purchasing (process code DESA). Both are using same message type DESADV. If you did not specify message code or message function. They system will allow to setup only one inbound message type for DESADV and not for two entries in inbound partner profile. For this case, you need to populate both the message function fields, for example SHP (Shipment) and PUR (Purchasing).
By doing these, system will allow you to assign different process codes for same message type.
Also these will allow you to split/group the IDocs processing (running parallel).
For example, if you want to post the incoming above message types, you can use standard program RBDAPP01 to process and running parallel by specify message function in selection screen or you can setup different variants to run in the background.

Hi,
Check in WE20 if the partner profile is configured for the idoc type and the message type. That might be the cause of the error.
Also make sure the same partner profile details are sent to the control record. Partner profile details are stored in the table EDP13.
Hope this helps

Error 56 "EDI: Partner profile inbound not available"

I am tring to post IDOC using we19.
Bu t, I am getting the error 56 "EDI: Partner profile inbound not available"
Could any one please suggest me ..how to solve the problem.

Hi Sam,
When you process the inbound IDoc using standard inbound button, the system will perform validation for a given IDoc control record against the partner profile and file port setup. In your case, there is no inbound partner profile setup (WE2) for the corresponding message type. Therefore, you got an error message 'Partner profile not maintained'.
When you process the inbound IDoc using inbound function module button, the system will NOT perform validation against the partner profile and file port setup. The system will call directly the inbound FM to process the inbound IDoc. You may get an error based on validation of IDoc data record within the inbound FM.
In production environment (real case), the system will always validate againts the partner profile and file port setup for incoming IDoc.
Therefore, it is important to have ALE and IDoc corretly setup for inbound and outbound message types.
Again, hope this will help.

Having multiple Goods Suppliers in Partner profiles of Vendor - Uses

Hi All,
We use multiple goods suppliers in partner profiles of vendor so that if the supplier has manufacturing facilitiy at various places for same material and he supplies us from one of them as lsited in the PO.
Above is one of th use of having multiple goods suppliers in partner profiles of vendor.
Other than above are there any specific benefits , can some one help me in listing out .
Regards,
Vengal Rao.

do you need to follow up an individual order with a GS or many many orders at one time?
I am not aware of any standard PO report by partner roles.
In general the GS partner is just for information purposes, except you are doing business in European Union, then the GS partner is taken instead of the vendor to determine the country of dispatch for the Intrastat reporting.

EDI: Partner profile inbound not available Message no. E0337

Hi Friends,
I am facing very wiered issue for incoming vendor frieght invoice. When the IDOC is sent to SAP from the edi subsystem, it gets posted with status 56 and error message
EDI: Partner profile inbound not available
Message no. E0337
Diagnosis
An inbound partner profile could not be found with the following key:
/0040000010/LI/VN/INVOIC/MM///
This involves the key fields of table EDP21:
-SNDPRN partner number of sender
-SNDPRT partner type of sender
-SNDPFC partner function of sender
-MESTYP logical message type
-MESCOD logical message code
-MESFCT logical message function
-TEST test flag
I have created the partner profile in WE20 for Partner type LI, partner role VN and process code INVL, message type INVOIC, message code MM. I have also checked the entry in TABLE EDP21 and the entry exists.
When I open the IDOC in WE19, and click on standard inbound TAB it says partner profile not maintianed, however when i click on the control record it opens a dialog box, where we have all the entries for partner profile and when I just click on any field in the dialog box and click continue and when again click on standard inbound it say partner profile maintained.
None of the data is changed in the IDOC control record, I just click on any field and it finds the partner profile.
Please let me know your thoughts, what could be possible reason and a solution.
Thanks
Deepak

Hi Deepak,
I am facing the same problem with a different message type.
But same effect. I can copy the IDoc with WE19 and it will process nicely, completely unchanged.
Have you found the reason for this?

I am trying to load an inbound 856 IDoc from EdI subsystem to SAP. It si giving me an error 56 saying Inbound partner profile not available.
I have set up the partner as Vendor in we20. Is there any other place that I need to set up the partner. We have inbound docs coming in as a customer(KU) but this is first vendor set up
Do you know what I am missing?
When I clicked on status message 56 -- says /ICPLPLIVA/LI/LF/DESADV///T/....key fields missing in EDP21? is the error really meant that?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Can you tell us about the IDoc control record?
In order to determine whether need to setup LI or KU partner profile.
Please go to WE02 and check the IDoc control record.
What are the values in partner tab?
Port             ???
Partner number   ???
Partn.Type       ???

This involves the key fields of the table EDPP1:

Procedure
Please check the EDI partner profiles.
Thnx

Hi,
    once the idoc is received in SAP R/3 it will try to find the partner profile based on the sender fields in the control record..
i.e SNDPRN - sender partner...
     SNDPRT - partner type (LS/KU/LF..)
     SNDPFC - Partner funtion...
compare the partner fields created in partner profile with the fields in control record...
Check the below wiki end section if still need more info on the same..
