IDOC document standards in B2Bi

Problem

* when defining IDOC objects in B2Bi, there are 2 possible document standards : 46C or 700

* it can be used at :

- the Document Service level / Document Format IDOC
- the Messaging Profile level (Partner side) / Messaging standard


* which one should be used ?

Resolution

-- the document standard is the SAP Release.

-- it is the 4th field in the Control Record and is named DOCREL (Document Release)

Ex : EDI_DC40  800000000000129309146C 3012  ORDERS05........ ---> in such message, the doc release is "46C"

-- in IDOC standards, the possible releases are
46C to 46D
610 to 640
700

-- B2Bi supports the most common used (46C and 700)

-- if you have specific requests regarding the support of other releases, please contact Axway support
