Used for additional subdivision of the messages.

Use

The message function is an optional parameter. If several IDoc types belong to the same message type, the unique assignments can be ensured via the message code and message function. Alternatively, the inbound processing type for IDocs from a certain partner can be defined differently via the fields for message type, message code and message function.
