ALE Doubt ...

[Former Member]

Hi Guys,

I am working on distribution of Service center master data from the central SAP system to other loosely connected SAP system around the globe in my company.

Now when I send the IDOC from this central system to other SAP systsms then it is a outbound ALE process. But at the same time for those SAP systems it wil be a ALE inbound process.

So in this scenario do I need to work for both ALE inbound and outbound ?

Can we say that push approach is related to outbound ALE process and when we use pull approach we have to work on inbound ALE process....

I am confused little bit here.

Please elaborate

hi,

Outbound Process - Sending

in your scenario you configure the outbound process which is enough for the sending side. ( idoc will be send to receiving system )

Inbound Process - Receiving

In the same process is inbound for Receiving side ( the recive the idoc and create the document )

cheers,

<b>Yes : Outbound at the Sendging System

Inbound at the receiving System.</b>
