SAP EDI Configuration: Partner Profiles, Ports and Logical Systems (WE20, WE21, BD54)

The hands-on configuration course every SAP EDI consultant needs: logical systems, RFC destinations, ports and partner profiles, plus the inbound and outbound parameters that decide which IDoc goes where and how it is processed. Built around a real customer and supplier setup, it ends with a configuration checklist that can be used to review and sign off a new EDI partner.
