ALE Configuration For Pushing Idocs From SAP To XI
There were fresher’s in my team who wanted to work on sender IDOC adapter. They were
searching SDN for step by step guide on ALE configurations for triggering IDoc’s out of SAP. Hence,
thought of blogging this on SDN so that it can act as a guide/checklist for XI consultants.

Transaction - ‘SALE’:

view and a description.

SAP XI using this model view. Select ‘Add Message Type’ option and then specify the sender
logical system and the receiver logical system.
