Set default values for partner profiles

In this section, you define default values for the partner profiles. This can save you lots of time later, depending on how "homogeneous" your partners are (many partners to whom the same message is to be sent, and so on). The default values concern primarilymessage and the IDoc type associated with it. They can be set according to

Example

For many partners of partner type "LI" (vendor), the IDoc type ORDERS01 with logical message type ORDERS is required in outbound processing (purchase order). For this, specify this default value in Cutomizing together with all other parameters of the partner profile (for example permitted agents in the case of errors and so on).

If in the fast entry (within transaction

Partner profiles) you then enter a specific partner (identified by its partner number) of type "LI" in outbound processing, a list of the messages in Customizing is displayed and also special ORDERS. If you now choose ORDERS, all other parameters (permitted agents and so on) are transferred from Customizing as partner profiles, so that you do not have to enter any more here.

Activities

1. Part of the default value for outbound processing is the port, that you can enter, but do not have to enter. If you wish to enter a port, you must create this beforehand.
Execute function
In many cases a port of a specific type is sufficient (for example, file). If you also want to transport a port, see the advice on transport.
2. Enter your default values for the partner profiles. This maintenance is separated into outbound and inbound partner profiles

Notes on transport

If you want to enter a port in the default values, this must also be available in the target client. If necessary, enter it in the target system.
