Documentation
Use
The field is used in older releases (prior to 4.0) for the identification of IDoc types/>. It is only transferred with an entry if communicating with SAP systems or EDI subsystems which are from these older releases.
Integration
A value is assigned to the field in outbound processing, if you set in the port definition version 1 (Releases 2.X) or 2 (Releases 3.X).
If you use extensions and communicate with older releases, you must maintain the conversion table in the IDoc type editor, which will assign an IDoc type to the extension and the basic type. To assign, select environment -> conversion -> IDoc type in the IDoc type editor.
