Business partners who use usage type Process Integration (PI) can exchange messages between their system landscapes.

●      If both business partners use PI, then you can connect the two Integration Servers to exchange data.

More information: Integration of Business Partners who use PI

●      A PI Integration Server can also send and receive SAP XI 2.0 messages. Therefore, it is also possible to integrate business partners who use SAP XI 2.0.

More information: Integration of Business Partners who use SAP XI 2.0.

●      Smaller business partners who do not use PI can use the Partner Connectivity Kit (PCK) to exchange messages with the system landscape of a business partner who uses PI.

Note

Business partners do not necessarily have to be two different companies; they could also be two independent IT areas within a single company.
