IDoc interface

Outbound IDocs:
The release is used by the EDI subsystem for information purposes. It defines the SAP release from which the EDI subystem receives data. The field DOCREL is filled with the value stored in the field SY-SAPRL in the EDI_DOCUMENT_OPEN_FOR_CREATE function module.

Inbound IDocs:
If the field was filled by the EDI subsystem, it is checked agains the SAP field SY-SAPRL. If the field is empty, it is filled with the value stored in SY-SAPRL.

EDI subsystem

DOCREL is an optional field and identifies the version level of the IDoc.

Outbound IDocs:
With outbound processing of IDocs, DOCREL is intended to assist the EDI subsystem in determining the version level of the IDoc to be processed.

Inbound IDocs:
The EDI subsystem can fill DOCREL. If DOCREL is filled, its contents are checked against the SAP field SY-SAPRL and, if the IDocs differ, are set to "errored".
