INVL / INVM

I was looking at the process code INVL / INVM for INVOIC02 idoc type. What is the difference between INVL and INVM?

Also I was looking at TCODE WE16 (Testing Inbound processing of orig inb. file).. I have previously worked with processing of inbound IDOCs (where in there is a FM attached to process code and FM is triggered for each IDOC)... How does one process an Inbound Idoc file? what is the format of input in such a file?

Process code INVL triggers FM IDOC_INPUT_INVOIC_MRM and Process code INVM triggers FM IDOC_INPUT_INVOIC_MM. I know that INVL carries out invoice verification and generates MM invoice and FI documents associated with MM invoice. I think process code INVM generates only the FI invoice. I remember having some difficulty working with INVM, but had no issues with INVL. It seems INVL has replaced INMVM since release 4.6c

The testing tool for inbound IDOC, WE19 provides several ways in which to test a simulated inbound IDOC.

If you have a file for the IDOC then you can test it from here.

You can take existing outbound IDOC of desired IDOC type and convert it to inbound IDOC by changing some fields and then test it from here.

You can also build a new IDOC of desired IDOC type from scratch here.

You can store the created inbound IDOC file on the application server.

You can select process code to process the Inbound IDOC.
