hi

message type is nothing but the type of data that u exchange between clients

ORDERS(purchase order data)

MATMAS(material master data)

CREMAS(vendor master)

DEBMAS(customer master)

u can find all these message types in tcode WE81

EDIMSG is the data base which message types stores.

An IDoc type can be implemented for various "logical" messages; one message can also be assigned to different IDoc types (m:n relationship).

The message is defined by the values for message type (required), message code (optional) and message function (optional). These three fields belong to the key fields in the partner profiles, which are used, for example, to determine inbound processing. If the 'Message type' field is not maintained (e.g. in the case of a control record from Release 2.1, in which MESTYP did not exist), the IDoc Interface uses the value from STDMES (EDI message type).

If possible, the descriptions of the message type should be linked to the corresponding EDI message type.

Example

The message ORDERS (= message type) identifies purchase orders (outbound) and sales orders (inbound).

reward if u find useful

Hi Pandurangarao,

Message type is a name given , that tells us what type of business data is being exchanged.

Eg: MATMAS (material master data) ,

DESADV (delivery Data)

Message type is always linked to an IDoc type .

Where the IDoc Type represents the data format. While the message tells us the purpose of data being sent

Reward if useful.
