## Procedures

- `CreateMessage(EDocument: Record "E-Document"; MessageType: Enum "E-Document Message Type"; ResponseType: Enum "E-Doc. Response Type"; var TempBlob: Codeunit "Temp Blob"): Integer`: Creates an outgoing child message for an E-Document and stores its payload.
- `GetMessageEDocument(MessageEntryNo: Integer; var EDocument: Record "E-Document")`: Gets the parent E-Document of an E-Document message.
- `GetMessageDirection(MessageEntryNo: Integer): Enum "E-Document Direction"`: Gets the direction of an E-Document message.
- `GetMessageStatus(MessageEntryNo: Integer): Enum "E-Doc. Message Status"`: Gets the processing status of an E-Document message.
- `GetMessageResponseType(MessageEntryNo: Integer): Enum "E-Doc. Response Type"`: Gets the response type represented by an E-Document message.
- `SendMessage(MessageEntryNo: Integer)`: Sends a previously created outgoing E-Document message through its E-Document service.
- `QueueMessage(MessageEntryNo: Integer)`: Queues a previously created outgoing E-Document message for background transmission.
- `RetryMessage(MessageEntryNo: Integer)`: Requeues a failed outgoing E-Document message for background transmission using its stored payload.
- `PollMessageResponse(MessageEntryNo: Integer)`: Polls the service for the asynchronous response to an outgoing child message.
- `RegisterExternalDocumentReference(EDocument: Record "E-Document"; ServiceCode: Code[20]; ExternalDocumentID: Text[250])`: Associates an external service document identifier with an E-Document for later message correlation.
- `CreateIncomingMessage(ServiceCode: Code[20]; ExternalDocumentID: Text[250]; ExternalMessageID: Text[250]; MessageType: Enum "E-Document Message Type"; ResponseType: Enum "E-Doc. Response Type"; ReceivedAt: DateTime; var TempBlob: Codeunit "Temp Blob"): Integer`: Stores an incoming child message and correlates it to an E-Document by service-specific identifiers.

## Ask your agent

Procedure bodies are not stored here (D10). For a procedure body or the calls of one procedure, ask bc-code-atlas (external, by Stefan Maron, MIT; default corpus w1-28), which the bc-observatory plugin connects: `bcatlas_resolve_node(object_type: "codeunit", object_name: "E-Document Message API")`, then `bcatlas_get_procedure_body` or `bcatlas_get_neighbors` on the returned id.
