  Key Concepts: 
  A receiver rule is a component of the SAP Exchange Infrastructure (XI) that defines how messages are routed from a sender to a receiver. It is used to determine which receiver should receive a message based on the sender's criteria. The receiver rule also defines the communication protocol and security settings for the message exchange. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Receiver rules are created in the Integration Builder of the SAP Exchange Infrastructure (XI). The sender must specify the criteria for the receiver rule, such as the message type, sender system, and receiver system. Once created, the receiver rule can be used to route messages from the sender to the appropriate receiver. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a receiver rule, it is important to ensure that all of the criteria specified in the rule are valid. This will ensure that messages are routed correctly and securely. Additionally, it is important to keep track of all receiver rules that have been created, as they can be reused for future message exchanges.
