Transfer PO from EBP to SUS (one client)

Question

Hello,
We have EBP and SUS in the same client (SRM 5.00 – SRM server 5.5).
We are trying to transfer PO from EBP to SUS.
I am searching an answer to the subsequent questions:
1. How should be started the PO transfer from EBP to SUS? We know that this transfer is made with XI and “PurchaseOrderRequest_Out” – “PurchaseOrderRequest_In” interfaces but what event should start “PurchaseOrderRequest_Out” interface? We know that “PurchaseOrderRequest_Out” interface is also started by EBP output process instead of printing, should we use this functionality to start this transfer?
2. We have tried to set the process using the output message (instead of printing) but the “PurchaseOrderRequest_In” interface gives us this error:
An error occured within an XI interface: Exception occurredA:BBP_BUPA:263 -Ordering party has to be a company
Programm: CX_BBP_BD_ERROR===============CP; Include: CX_BBP_BD_ERROR===============CM002; Line: 57
We cannot use transaction BBP_SUS_BP_ADM because EBP and SUS are in the same client (we receive this error: “If SUS and EBP are in same client, create the company in EBP”) and in EBP the ordering party business partner is already a company (if we make a search for “Purchasing Company” in transaction “Manage business partners” we can find the ordering party business partner). We have also run BBP_SP_COMP_INI transaction for this purchasing company business partner.
Any suggestion?
Thank you for your help.
Marco.
