Hi Jack
We’re using transmission medium ALE and not EDI. My understanding is that EDI does not work for partner type LS, but do work for KU and LI (but I’m uninformed on this subject).
I’ve changed output control in tcode NACE to use EDI with RSNASTED / EDI_PROCESSING.
We are now faced with a different error during delivery output:
Maintain outgoing EDI-connection data for partner CMESWBDO
Message no. VN032
Diagnosis
The system could not locate the EDI partner agreements (outbound) for
partner CMESWBDO.
System Response
You cannot use transmission medium 'EDI' with this partner.
Procedure
Maintain the EDI partner agreements for partner CMESWBDO. Make sure to
create entries for output control as well as for outbound parameters.
Partner CMESWBDO is defined in WE20 as type LS and all other settings (e.g. message control) are correct. Not sure if EDI requires additional settings when compared to ALE.
Also, when using EDI, the Delivery output in VL32N does not default. We have to manually add the Output type (and we have maintained the condition records in NACE).
The only other solution is to create a new Z message type for each Logical system and link relevant Basic types to them. But this seems a bit extreme as I’m sure there must me a standard SAP solution for our required Distribution model.

Werner
