EntityMessageCreator
The job step EntityMessageCreator creates one or more messages from the incoming documents. Here, the container dependency defined for the type or, as the case may be, on the TypeSet (Typesets) is used.
Note: The EntityMessageCreator first checks whether a specific container is specified in the message recipient's typeset, if not, it uses the one which is defined withing the template partner. If there is no specification, the default container dependency is used.

Interchange Counter
The selection of the counter for the interchange stored in the ‘EDI Reference’ is carried out in the following steps:
- If the frame variable eBiss.DocumentVars.InterchangeReference is set in the mapping, then this value is used.
- If the „Increase Interchange Counter“ option is enabled in EntityMessageCreator, the following is checked:
- If the frame variables eBiss.DocumentVars.InterchangeCounterName and eBiss.DocumentVars.InterchangeCounterKey are set in the document, then the value of InterchangeCounterKey from the counter InterchangeCounterName is used.
- Otherwise, the Edi Reference Counter is used by the recipient of the message.
- Otherwise, the value from the field with the frame variable eBiss.DocumentVars.InterchangeReference is used from the document.

if ‘No’ is set here, the interchange reference number cannot be set when containerising EDIFACT messages. ‘DummyInterchangeRef’ will then appear instead of the reference number
