Scenario : SAP To SAP ALE Communication

when multiple systems involved in sending the messages to each other for their
business transactions through IDOC.

If both the systems have different configurations then we need to convert the
entity like Unit of measure/Text id/delivery block etc. For example the system ‘A’
has the Unit of measure (BT –Bottle) but in the system ‘B’ it is (BO-Bottle). So
while sending an IDOC (Outbound) we need to convert the field value from BT
to BO.

party number (PO/SO Flow by IDOC ORDERS)
