<u>IDoc</u>

An IDoc is a container that can be used to exchange data between the trading partners. So, this IDoc is nothing but your business document that is been exchanged for any particular transaction.

<u>IDoc Type:</u>

Every IDoc is identified with IDoc type and IDoc data, depending on which the IDoc is processed. An IDoc type defines the structure and format of the data being exchanged.

For example, the IDoc type ORDERS01,2,3,4,5 defines the format of an Order document. IDoc data is nothing but the instance of the IDoc type.

These IDoc types are based on EDI standards (ANSI X12 and EDIFACT). They are closer to the EDIFACT standards than to ANSI X12.

Thanks,

Narayan
