Automatic/Immediate Processing
IDocs in this situation are processed instantly when they are generated or added to the system. The "Transfer IDoc immediately" option is selected for Outbound Options and the "Trigger Immediately" option is selected for Inbound Options. These checks are usually necessary when two systems need to exchange information in real time.
