Use

The value can be selected by the user, in order to describe a message in more detail. MESTYP, MESCOD and MESFCT serve as a unique ID for the message, where MESTYP ("message type") must be maintained. They belong to the key fields in the partner profiles, which are used to specify the port and the IDoc type in outbound processing.

For default values, the UN/EDIFACT data element 1225 can be used as an example.
