Hi,
Go to SPRO > MM > Purchasing > Messages > EDI > Set Up Partner Profile (WE20) - here create partner profile with following details;
Partner Type - "LI"
Under Outbound parmtrs.: -
Partner Role EI + Message Type ORDERS and double click on this and maintain following;
Output options: -
Receiver port        SAPGED
Basic type           ORDERS05
View                 ORDERSWOCON1
Activate "Cancel process after syntax error"
Message Control: -
    Application        EF : Purchase Order
    Message Type:      ZEDI : EDI PO Output
    Process Code       ME10 : ORDERS: Purchase order
Go to SPRO > MM > Purchasing > Messages > Output Control > Message Types > Define Message Types for Purchase Order
> Maintain Message Types for PO - Here Take copy of NEU and create your own Output Type as "ZEDI" for EDI Processing and maintain following parameters;
Dialog Structure - Under "Processing Routines", maintain Program - "RSNASTED" and Form Routine - "EDI_PROCESSING"
Dialog Structure - Under "Partner Roles", maintain Medium as "6" and Function as "EI"
Under Default Values Tab;
Dispatch time - 4
Transmission Medium - 6
Partner Function - EI
> Fine-Tuned Control: Purchase Order - Here add o/p type "ZEDI" with operation "1" and save.
Go to SPRO > MM > Purchasing > Messages > Output Control > Message Determination Schemas > Define Message Schema for Purchase Order - Maintain Message Determination Schema: Purchase Order - here add o/p type "ZEDI' in schema grp "RMBEF1"
Now maintain Po o/p condition record for ZEDI in MN04.
