Documentation

Use

In the partner profiles, the business process is identified by the logical message (message type, code and function). The message type is mandatory. The message code and message function are optional and can be specified by the user.

If a message code is entered in the (inbound) partner profiles, the external system must enter this data in the corresponding field during IDoc inbound processing.

Examples

A purchase order change (message type ORDERS, message code CHG) can be differentiated from a new purchase order (message type ORDERS, no message code entered).
