Use

Inbound processing (from the SAP side):

As an optional parameter, the partner function containing the sender and the recipient can be specified. Example: 'LF' for 'vendor' or 'AG' for 'sold-to party'.

SNDPFC, SNDPRN and SNDPRT provide a unique ID for the sender. They are among the key fields in the partner profiles which are used in inbound processing, for example, to determine the process code and therefore the internal processing for the IDoc. Therefore, if the sender function has been specified in the inbound partner profiles, the external system must maintain the field with the corresponding value.

Outbound processing:

The sender is the SAP system, which leaves the field empty.
