To set up the communication, a series of steps are required that you have to carry out in Customizing for ALE (Transaction SALE).
For details of ALE communication relationship maintenance, see under Application Server ® IDoc Interface/ALE, in the IMG:
● Define the RFC destinations
The remote function call is controlled in the parameters of the RFC destination. For further information see Maintaining Remote Destinations.
You can also specify which RFC destinations are to be used for synchronous method calls. These calls may either be BAPIs or Dialog Methods. For further information see RFC Destinations for Synchronous Method Calls.
