Hi,

Message type is business name for IDOC you are sending hiding all technical details of the IDOC.

IDOC type gives more technical information about structure of the IDOC.

You will be linking IDOC type to message type while processing IDOC in runtime. You will be specifying message type and IDOC type in WE20 trasaction which says which message will go to which partner whether it is outbound or inbound.

Best Regards,

Krishna
