Documentation

Use

In the partner profiles, the business process is identified in the logical message (message type, code and function). The message type is mandatory, the message code and message function are optional and can be specified by the user.

If a message code has been entered in the (inbound) partner profiles, the external system must fill the field during IDoc inbound processing.

Examples

A purchase order change (message type ORDERS, message code CHG) can be differentiated from a new purchase order (message type ORDERS, no message code entered).
