Message type, Idoc type and process code in ALE/Idoc

Question

Each Idoc version(creams01 or cremas03) will have seperate process codes in Inbound process?
Whether Message type triggers the process code or the Idoctype/idoc  triggers the process code in Inbound process?

Hi Henry,
About your question as how should you assign seperate process code for the same message type ( with different IDoc Type )-
In We42, the message type can be assigned to the processing code. But here you will find that along with message type there are two more fields - Message Code & Message Function.
You can use any one these to serve your purpose.
e.g. you can assign
-process code P1 to message type M with Message code 1
-process code P2 to message type M with Message code 2
Further these process types can be configured to call separate FMs.
Now depending on IDOC types your external system should populate the message type as well as Message code so that accordingly process code will be determined at the time of inbound processing.
I hope it's clear & correct
Thanks,
Ram
