Documentation

General

The IDoc type is defined by the applications. They also define the SAP segment sequence.

The IDoc types supplied with the standard SAP System are identified via the IDOCTYP field, as are new IDoc types created by the customer.
The DOCTYP field then has the same contents as the IDOCTYP field.

Applications

The selection module of the application fills the field from the PARTOUT (partner profile) parameter.

Inbound IDocs:
No action required.

IDoc interface
