Hi krish,

Message type normally refers to the type of the related data that has to be sent as Idoc (eg.,CREMAS,MATMAS-material data).IDOC type tells you about which IDOC has to be used to send the Related business data.because all the idoc may not have all the required fields that suits your business as the fields might need to be changed as per the requirements.So to recognise that we use the naming conventions lik MATMAS.MATMAS01 etc., (MATMAS is message type) MATMAS01 is the Idoc type that suits my data to hold.

Thanks,

Raj.
