Use

Inbound processing (from the SAP side):

Contains the partner function, containing the sender and recipient, as an optional parameter. Example: 'LF' für 'vendor' or 'AG' for 'sold-to party'.

SNDPFC, SNDPRN and SNDPRT provide a unique ID for the sender. They belong to the key fields in the partner profiles, which are used in inbound processing to determine, for example, the process code and therefore the SAP internal processing of the IDoc. Therefore, if the sender function is defined 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.
