To be able to process a message, an applicable document flow and its related setup must exist. The moment the applicable document flow and setup is checked, is defined by inbound messages process and outbound messages process.

In the document flow search, the origin of the message plays a key role. The document flow setting on the origin defines which document flows can be searched for.
This diagram shows the document flow search process if the document flow setting of the origin is 'Vendor'.
Note: An EDI party can have an EDI group defined. When searching for a document flow, if no document flow exists for the EDI party and origin, a document flow for the EDI group and origin is searched for.
