Inbound IDOC Processing

[buddhika_krishantha]

Hi,

I created inbound "ZMATMAS_LSP" IDOC type which includes following segment types.

E1MVKEM                        Master material sales data (MVKE)

E1MEANM                        Master Material European Article Number (MEAN)

E1MARMM                        Master material units of measure (MARM)

E1MARCM                        Master material C segment (MARC)

E1MAKTM                        Master material short texts (MAKT)

E1MARAM                        Master material general data (MARA)

Please let me know, do I need to create a new process code for process that idoc.

What was the reason for creating a new message type?

If the answer to the above question is that you want to add your own processing logic then "YES" you need to create a new process code.

The process code is nothing more than a wrapper for the FM that will get called to process the idoc. If you want to use standard SAP FM to process the idoc but wanted to use a custom message type then you dont have to create a new process code, just use exiting one.
