BC - IDoc Interface: EDI Application Scenarios
Purpose
The application scenarios describe business processes in which EDI can be implemented.
Consequently, two partners are always involved in these processes: The sender and the
recipient of the EDI message.
The scenarios should describe a business process as simply as possible, while remaining
realistic. The processes described here can serve as templates or starting points for customerdefined
business processes, but should never be copied exactly by users when creating their
own processes.
