• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EA603 - EDI: Receiver partner type in control record is default ?

  The SAP error message EA603, which states "EDI: Receiver partner type in control record is default," typically occurs in the context of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) when there is an issue with the configuration of the partner profiles or the control records in the EDI process.
  Cause:
  
  Default Partner Type: The error indicates that the system is trying to process an EDI message, but the receiver partner type in the control record is set to a default value, which is not valid for the transaction being processed.
  Missing Configuration: The partner profile for the receiver may not be properly configured, or the necessary settings for the specific EDI message type may be missing.
  Incorrect Partner Profile: The partner profile may not be correctly assigned to the transaction or may not exist for the specified message type.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Partner Profiles:
  
  Go to transaction code WE20 to check the partner profiles for the receiver. Ensure that the correct partner type (e.g., "LS" for logical systems, "KU" for customers, "LI" for vendors) is assigned.
  Verify that the partner profile is correctly configured for the specific message type you are trying to send or receive.
  
  
  
  Review Control Records:
  
  Check the control records for the EDI message. You can do this in transaction WE02 (for monitoring EDI messages) or WE19 (for testing EDI messages).
  Ensure that the control record has the correct partner type and that it matches the configuration in the partner profile.
  
  
  
  Update Configuration:
  
  If the partner type is set to a default value, update it to the correct partner type that corresponds to the receiver.
  Make sure that all necessary parameters and settings are correctly defined in the partner profile.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the EDI message processing again to ensure that the error is resolved.
