Use

As a reference, this field contains the number of the interchange file, as entered in the EDI standards.

An interchange file can therefore only exist in the external EDI subsystem. Depending on the transmission direction, this number should:

  • either inform the SAP system via status confirmation: in this case, the last returned number is saved in the control record of the relevant outbound IDoc (from SAP).
  • or in inbound processing (from SAP), write to the field in the control record of the inbound IDoc.
