  The SAP error message E0367, which states "EDI: Error when passing to the ALE level," typically occurs in the context of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) and Application Link Enabling (ALE) processes. This error indicates that there was a problem when the system attempted to pass data from the EDI layer to the ALE layer, which is responsible for distributing data between different SAP systems or between SAP and non-SAP systems.
  Causes:
  
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration of EDI/ALE settings can lead to this error. This includes issues with partner profiles, message types, or distribution model settings.
  Data Format Errors: The data being processed may not conform to the expected format, leading to parsing or validation errors.
  Missing or Incorrect Master Data: If the master data (like material master, customer master, etc.) required for the transaction is missing or incorrect, it can cause this error.

  Review Master Data: Check if all necessary master data is available and correctly maintained in the system. This includes verifying that the relevant records exist and are active.
  Analyze IDocs: Use transaction WE02 or WE05 to analyze the IDocs that are causing the error. Look for any error messages or issues in the IDoc status.
