In Reply to: ATTENTION TO ALL IDOC EXPERTS !!! MSGFN = ???? SOS !! posted by [IP Address: 203.197.141.18] 'bluepacific' on September 13, 2001 at 08:37:48 EST:
Hi,
MSGFN is automatically filled by the system based on the respective mode of posting in the application document. Like if ur creating a material,the value of MSGFN in that particular segment will be 009.
When u make a change in the application document, the segment which contains the changed field is tagged with MSGFN value 004. So in general u can think of MSGFN field as a flag attached to that particular segment denoting the mode of operation done.
Hope this helps u!!!
Cheers,
Shan
: Attention to all IDOC EXPERTS out there !!
: I need some help here, very very urgent !
: Really appreciate if somebody can help me explain this ===>
: I'm new to EDI/IDOC/ALE, and was wondering what on earth this MSGFN field is for ???
: For example, for MATMAS03 msg type ===>
: 1). 003 Delete: Message contains objects to be deleted
: Q = if I put 003 in MSGFN, will it delete the MATNR ( MM06 ) ?
: 2). 004 Change: Message contains changes
: Q = if I put 004 in MSGFN, will it change the MATNR ( MM02 ) ?
: 3). 005 Replace: This message replaces previous messages
: Q = if I put 005 in MSGFN, will it change the MATNR ( MM02 ) ?
: Additional Q = what then, is the difference between 004 and 005 ?
: 4). 009 Original: First message for process
: Q = if I put 009 in MSGFN, will it create the MATNR ( MM01 ) ?
: 5). 023 Wait/Adjust: Data should not be imported
: Q = if I put 023 in MSGFN, what would it do to the MATNR ?
: 6). 018 Resend
: Q = if I put 018 in MSGFN, what would it do to the MATNR ?
: Thx :)
