Hi,

These fields can be used to differentiate between processing of the same message type. You can create several partner profiles using the same message type. By populating these fields, you are able to assign different process codes. Otherwise you are only allowed one entry for the message type.

Also these will allow you to split/group the IDocs processing (running parallel).

Hi,

These fields can be used to differentiate between processing of the same message type. You can create several partner profiles using the same message type. By populating these fields, you are able to assign different process codes. Otherwise you are only allowed one entry for the message type.

For example, you need to setup two inbound partner profile for delivery advice. One is dealing with incoming shipment (process code DELS) and the other one dealing with purchasing (process code DESA). Both are using same message type DESADV. If you did not specify message code or message function. They system will allow to setup only one inbound message type for DESADV and not for two entries in inbound partner profile. For this case, you need to populate both the message function fields, for example SHP (Shipment) and PUR (Purchasing).

By doing these, system will allow you to assign different process codes for same message type.

Also these will allow you to split/group the IDocs processing (running parallel).

For example, if you want to post the incoming above message types, you can use standard program RBDAPP01 to process and running parallel by specify message function in selection screen or you can setup different variants to run in the background.
