# Search for document flow: Carrier

To be able to process a message, an applicable document flow and its related setup must exist. The moment the applicable document flow and setup is checked, is defined by inbound messages process and outbound messages process.

If you exchange EDI messages with 3PL warehouses, in the search for the applicable document flow, the warehouse is the key. The document flow must have the account code '**Warehouse**'. So, in this case, the origin is not used.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> An EDI party can have an EDI group defined. When searching for a document flow, if no document flow exists for the EDI party, a document flow for the EDI group is searched for.

## Flow diagram

This diagram shows the document flow search process for carrier EDI messages.
