Documentation
Use
In the IDoc control record, the fields IDOCTYP and CIMTYP serve as a unique ID for the IDoc type: they specify the syntax, i.e. the segment sequence.
When data is transferred between two systems, IDOCTYP must always be maintained, as the field contains the basic type; CIMTYP contains the extension, and must therefore be maintained if an extension is used.
