Documentation

Use

Inbound processing (from SAP):

As an optional parameter, this field contains the partner function which includes both the sender and the recipient. Example: 'LF' for 'vendor' or 'AG' for 'ordering party'.

SNDPFC, SNDPRN and SNDPRT serve as a unique ID for the sender. They belong to the key fields in the partner profiles, which is used in inbound processing to determine the process code, and therefore the internal SAP processing, for the IDoc. Therefore, if the function of the sender is defined in the inbound partner profiles, the external system must enter the corresponding value in the field.

Outbound processing:

The sender is the SAP system, which leaves the field blank.
