Procedure documentation Assigning Basic Types to Message Types Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

The business background is established by assigning the IDoc type to one (or more) messages(s). For example, the “logical message type” ORDERS is usually used for the purchase order in outbound processing and for the order in inbound processing.

Since an IDoc type can be assigned to several logical message types and vice versa, you should only create a new message if none of the existing messages adequately describes your new business process.
