Idoc type and basic type

Some IDoc types are supplied by SAP in the standard system: These are the basic types . Other IDoc types are customer extensions: In these cases, a basic type is combined with an extension which is created by the customer, according to certain rules.

Different terms are used : The current basic type was previously called a "basic IDoc type" and an extension was called an "extension type".

The term "IDoc type" was used to denote both the extended basic type and the umbrella term.

Message type

A message type comprises a data type that describes the structure of a message.
