Documentation

Use

If the IDoc format is to be converted to a standard EDI format (such as EDIFACT), the corresponding message type can be specified here. This is intended as an aid for the EDI subsystem that is to convert the format. Generally, EDI subsystems should be able to derive the corresponding EDI message type from the IDoc type used.

Example

EDI standard    Message type    Business process

EDIFACT    ORDERS    Purchase order

    INVOIC    Invoice

ANSI X12    850    Purchase order
