Use

Outbound processing (from SAP) using Message Control:

The partner function must correspond with the appropriate Message Control field. Example: 'LF' for 'vendor' or 'AG' for 'ordering party'.

Direct outbound processing:

The partner function can be selected by the user; the field can also be left blank, but the following applies for outbound processing:

RCVPFC, RCVPRN and RCVPRT serve as a unique ID for the recipient. They are assigned to the corresponding key fields of the (outbound) partner profile, which is used to determine the port, for example. Therefore, if the partner function is defined in the partner profiles, the function must also be present in the control record if an IDoc is sent to the IDoc Interface and the corresponding port is to be used.

Inbound processing:

The recipient is the SAP system. The external system should leave this field blank.
