Can we attach more than one messages with One IDOC?

Answer Posted / maxim

IDocs, handle multiple messages with ease. Given the
centralized IDoc interpretation that SAP provides to all its
parts, it’s no problem to define an IDoc that will contain
more than one message, that is, more than one data record type.

A customer master IDoc, for example, may contain customer
profile information records for a customer with many
locations. But it may also contain location-specific pricing
information records for that customer in the same document.
This is an incredibly efficient way of bundling related
records, particularly when passing large amounts of complex
information from system to system (see Figure C).

Figure C

DATA RECORD - CUST PROFILE LOC #2
DATA RECORD - CUST PROFILE LOC #3
DATA RECORD - CUST DISCOUNT STRUCTURE LOC #1
