The outbound parameters are to be filled as follows:

Partner number, partner role, message type, receiver port, output mode (either transfer idoc immediately or collect idocs),basic type are mandatory. In case, you use the same message type for two different processes and there would be difference in data transmitted use message code and message function. This would act as a single point of differentiating the path of the code to be followed.

Pack size is to be used in case of ALE and when there are a bunch of idocs to be transmitted .In case you are using older release of idoc,then you need to mention this in seg release in idoc type .Also in that case, you need to fill segment application release version as well. In case, there is message control inputs, one needs to fill in the message control tab. The application, message type and process code needs to be updated. Rest of the tabs just adds information to the parameters. One can add as many outbound parameters or message control inputs as needed.

In case  of inbound process, needs to      just pass the process code .This one significant difference between inbound and outbound.
