The below list of message types can be a quick reference for Inward / Outward.
Outward:
MATMAS – Material master
BOMMAT -BOMs: Material BOM
CHRMAS -Class system: Characteristics master
CLFMAS -Class system: Classification master
CLSMAS -Class system: Classes master
CNPMAS -Configuration profile
DEPNET -DEPNET
ECMMAS-Engineering Change Management
KNOMAS -Global object dependencies
UPSMAS -ALE Distribution Unit (MASTER)
VFNMAS -Variant function
VTAMAS -Structure of the variant table
VTMMAS -Contents of variant table
INWARD:
MATMAS -MATM -Material Master
BOMMAT -BOMM -BOMs: Material BOM
CHRMAS -CHRM -Class system: Characteristics master

CNPMAS -CNPM -Configuration profile
DEPNET -DEPN -DEPNET
ECMMAS -ECMM -Engineering Change Management
KNOMAS -KNOM -Global object dependencies
UPSMAS -UPSM -ALE Distribution Unit (MASTER)
VFNMAS -VFNM -Variant function
