Distribution of Business Partner
Data 
You can distribute business partner data in different ways.
Here you have the following options:
· Replication by means of the SAP NetWeaver Process Integration (XI)
The integration scenario BusinessPartnerReplication with the relevant message interfaces, the Message type ABABusinessPartner, interface mappings and the XSLT mapping ABABusinessPartner700ToABABusinessPartner700 are available for this.
· Distribution via the ALE/IDoc interfaces
The following interfaces for business partner and relationship data are provided for this purpose:
Data is distributed in both cases with the help of the complex structures BUS_EI_EXTERN (business partner data) and BURS_EI_EXTERN (relationship data). For more information on the structure BUS_EI_EXTERN, see the relevant system documentation.
There may be other types of distribution technology available, depending on your application.
