Message number: 598
Message text: The ALE table is not yet defined for process code &
In the case of process codes for inbound processing, which are created
for processing via function modules, the ID - the processing function
module here - is not maintained from this screen, but in the ALE table
'Function modules for ALE-EDI inbound processing'. In addition, further
entries are required for this combination.
In order to be able to use process code &v1& for processing, an entry
for this process code must also exist in the ALE table.
The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
Include an entry for process code &v1& in the ALE table.

The SAP error message EA598, which states "The ALE table is not yet defined for process code &," typically occurs in the context of Application Link Enabling (ALE) when the system is trying to process a message type that has not been properly configured in the ALE settings.
Cause:
- Missing Configuration: The error usually indicates that the ALE table for the specified process code has not been defined in the system. This can happen if the necessary configuration steps have not been completed.
- Incorrect Process Code: The process code being referenced may not exist or may be incorrectly specified in the configuration.
- Transport Issues: If the configuration was recently transported from another system, it may not have been fully set up in the target system.
Solution:
Check ALE Configuration:
- Go to transaction
WE20
(Partner Profiles) and ensure that the partner profile for the relevant logical system is correctly set up.- Check transaction
WE41
(Process Codes) to see if the process code in question is defined. If it is not, you will need to create it.- Use transaction
WE42
(Message Types) to ensure that the message type is correctly linked to the process code.Define the ALE Table:
- If the ALE table is indeed missing, you will need to define it. This can typically be done in transaction
WE30
(IDoc Types) orWE31
(IDoc Segments) depending on what is required.- Ensure that the necessary IDoc types and segments are created and activated.
Check for Transport Issues:
- If the configuration was recently transported, verify that all necessary objects were included in the transport request and that they were imported correctly.
- If needed, re-transport the configuration or manually recreate it in the target system.
Consult Documentation:
- Review SAP documentation or notes related to ALE configuration for any specific requirements or additional steps that may be necessary for your particular scenario.
Testing:
- After making the necessary changes, test the process again to ensure that the error has been resolved.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages
(message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.
An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
