Documentation
Use
In EDI, message types are normally assigned to SAP document types uniquely. Their names correspond as much as possible to those of the UN/EDIFACT standard. ALE scenarios, on the other hand, often have no EDIFACT correspondence, for example when master data is transmitted.
Examples
- ORDERS for purchase oder data
- INVOIC for invoice data
