Hi,

For an IDOC Basic Type is the structure which defines the skeleton of the data transfer like what all fields can be present, how many times a field can appear, is it mandatory etc.

A message type is a label used to identification.

Message type come into picture because we can use the same IDOC basic type for any number of applications. So it becomes necessary that we need some other tag to identify & distinguish between all these. Message Type helps in this cause.

Message type & Basic Type are linked in WE82.

Hi Sravya,

Yes any number of Message types can be assigned to same IDoc type theoretically

But when practicality comes what would be the reason to assign different Message type to the same IDoc type...?

We can assign in the transaction code WE82

we can also assign the same message type to different IDoc types...

we can observe this in the case of ORDERS assigned to different IDoc types

Cheers...!!!
