Outbound IDoc Error: Status Code 37 'Sender Port' is invalid

Question

Hi
I have an Error when the Outbound IDoc is triggered.
It shows that 'Sender Port in Control Record is invalid'.
Status Code: 37.
I know that there are some issues with the Sender Port Definition.
Please help me out to solve this problem using some checkpoints at each and every step.

Hi Baburaj Manickam
Good
Follow this simple procedure
1) Send an outbound IDOC data(MATMAS) to a flat file on client1(SENDER).
-  Create File Port (WE21) for outbound file.
-  Maintain Distribution Model (BD64) for sender ->receiver system.
-  Create Partner Profile (WE20) for logical system.
-  You can use this program RBDSEMAT (t/code BD10) to generate IDoc MATMAS file(s). 
_  Then you can FTP the file(s) to receiver system.
2) Upload the flat file as an IDOC on the inbound sytem
which is Client2(RECIEVER).
-  Create File Port (WE21) for inbound file.
-  Maintain Distribution Model (BD64) for receiver -> sender system.
-  Create Partner Profile (WE20) for logical system.
-  You can use this program RSEINB00 to upload IDoc MATMAS file(s). 
INBOUND IDOC PROCESSING:
Firstly attach your idoc to a process code.
In the process cod you can tell the system that the specified program should be triggered whenever an idoc of that type comes to the system.
Then you want to have a Z-function module for your idoc processing, if I understand correctly.The steps should be:
1. Create a z function module for idoc inbound posting (copy from a function module idoc_input_*).
2. Set Function Modules as Inbound: - Transaction BD51
3. Assign Function Modules to Logical Messages and Idoc types:- Transaction WE57
4. Create process codes : Transaction WE42, and link the z-function module.
5. Create partner profile: transaction WE20 and attach the message type and process code.
6. In the Z- function module, extract data from the idoc segments, do whatever processing you want to do, and then call BAPI_CREATE_SALES_ORDER_FROMDAT2.
Try the Trasaction WE19 for testing your inbound and outbound IDOCs
Good Luck and Reward me for the same
