Inbound IDocs:
The field is used to determine the inbound partner profile.

EDI subsystem

Outgoing IDocs:
The EDI subsystem is responsible for marking the generated EDI message as a test or productive message in accordance with this field.

Inbound IDocs:
The EDI subsystem must mark test messages by means of an 'X' in this field. The field must be filled so that the partner profile in SAP can be determined.
