• Key Concepts: 
  A response message is a type of message sent from a receiver system to a sender system in SAP's Exchange Infrastructure (XI) component. It is used to confirm that the sender system has received and processed the message sent by the receiver system. The response message contains information about the status of the message, such as whether it was successfully processed or if there were any errors.
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use response messages, the sender system must first be configured to send them. This can be done by setting up an outbound interface in the Integration Directory. Once this is done, the receiver system will automatically send a response message when it receives and processes a message from the sender system.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When configuring an outbound interface for response messages, make sure to select the “Send Response Message” option. This will ensure that the receiver system will send a response message when it receives and processes a message from the sender system. Additionally, make sure to configure the response message with the appropriate status codes so that you can easily identify any errors that may have occurred during processing.
