Message type and basic IDoc type</b>

<b>A message type</b> represents the group in which every basic IDoc types must belong. A message type is conceptually the nature of the data transmitted within an IDoc.

For example, the MATMAS message type is related to material master data, Material Master. To this MATMAS message type is associated several basic IDoc types: MATMAS01, MATMAS02, MATMAS03, MATMAS04 et MATMAS05. Each basic IDoc type is able to contain essential data on material master data. MATMAS01 is the first version, each subsequent version increments the sequence number (MATMAS02, etc.) and adds fields comparing with the previous version.

By convention, each <b>basic IDoc type</b> which follows the ascending numbering can not remove a field or change the applicative meaning of a field comparing with the previous version of the basic IDoc type. The standard message types and basic IDoc types in SAP R/3 respect this convention, and it is preferable to do so for all the new types to be created.

in short message type represents the format of idoc.

hi,

Like you mentioned in case of the PO, the create and change IDOC use the same IDOC type but the message type changes. So, depending on the message type the processing logoic changes.

A IDOC type can be used by different Message types.

The messages exchanged between systems are of various message types. The message type depends on the data contained and the process involved. It determines the technical structure of the message, the IDoc type. For example, the FIDCMT message type is used for journal messages.

The IDoc type indicates the SAP format that is to be used to interpret the data of a business transaction.

An IDoc type consists of the following components:

· a control record

This is identical for each IDoc type.

· several data records

One data record consists of a fixed key part and a variable data part. The data part is interpreted using segments, which differ depending on the IDoc type selected.

· several status records

These are identical for each IDoc type and describe the statuses an IDoc has already passed through or the status an IDoc has attained.

Idoc type is the struct of the idoc. In other words when you build the idoc with your segments you are defining the idoc type.

Then, every idoc type needs a message type. You can have a message type with a lot idoc types associated. When you process an idoc you process a message type and with a idoc type. You can define it in we20 transaction. You need to link both in we82 too.
