did you check in the [SCN|]

Hi,

Idoc type rfers to the data(fields) which will be exchanged between two systems.(check T code WE30 or WEDI for complete idoc develoment.)

Whereas Message type is the name of communication type.

An idoc type can be mapped to many message types.

It wont affect if you are using same names for idoc type and message type. They both signify different things.

Hi,

Message Types are the application specific.

Eg:

MATMAS: Updates the Material Master details.

CREMAS: Updates the Vendor Master details

BOMMAT: BOM: Material data etc.

As told by others IDocs are of 1) Single and 2) Multiple types.

Once IDocs are generated based on the specific Message types, the Data segments will be specific to the specific type. If you observe the IDOCS by Tcode WE02 or WE19, you can check the existing IDOCS.

Even if you dont know the IDOC Number just give the Date and Time in the selection screen and Execute, you will find the existing IDOCS.
