hi Kcr,

Message Type:

A message type represents the application message exchanged between R/3 systems and R/3 and an external system. A message type characterises the data sent across systems and relates to the structure of the data called an IDOC type.

Diff. with IDOC type

An IDoc type specifies the structure of the data.

A message type specifies the meaning of the data

Diff. b/w IDOC type and IDOC

An IDoc type is the definition of a specific data structure.

An IDoc is an actual instance of data based on an IDoc type. Therefore, there can be many IDocs created from a single IDoc type.

Every idoc type will have Message Type.

It mean Idoc will be recognised By message type.

For ex : MATMAS03 is idoc type, and its message type MATAMS.

There are different message type for every master data. suppose for vendor master CREMAS is the message type, for customer mast DEBMAS like these there many message type for other type of master data.

To recognise the particular idoc, we use message types.

We82 is the TCode where IDoC type is attached to Mesage tYpe.

Refer to this related thread

pls reward if helpful.

Hi,

Although it is technically possible to do so, I would strongly suggest to assign a message type to one IDoc type only.
