Answers

1. The status value 51 indicates that none of the transferred status records are successfully processed.

Answer: False

If not all the status records are successfully transferred to the relevant IDocs, the inbound IDoc has the status 52. If none of the transferred status records are successfully processed, the IDoc has the status 51.

In both the cases, error handling is started for the inbound IDoc.
