Yes, the Adapter requires a Message Set.

But what I was saying is, for Inbound data from SAP, there are primarily 2 different approaches. Here's how you'd have to go ahead with each of them:

Normal Inbound ALE Adapter:
Create a single Adapter with all types of IDocs that you'd need, configured.
This would create a Message Set with definitions for all the selected IDoc types, which would have to be deployed with the Adapter.

Inbound ALE Adapter in Passthrough mode:
Create a single Adapter of type GenericIDoc.
This would create a very basic Message Set with just one definition - GenericIDocObject.
This parsed message would have a bitstream of the actual IDoc contents which could be passed onto another flow to be parsed.
Thus your Adapter Message Flow need not have the huge Message Set with all IDoc types. Each individual flow for each IDoc type will need a Message Set with definitions for just a single IDoc that is to be processed by the flow.
