	<GeneralSection><Paragraph>Use order types for those EDI messages that pertain to a single Order, such as orders, order changes, acknowledgments, and invoices. For outgoing EDI messages related to these documents, you must fill in the <Link href="/baanerp/ec/glossary/glossary#000078" role="glossary">conversion table</Link> for <Link href="/baanerp/ec/glossary/glossary#000017" role="glossary">order types</Link> (out). This table specifies the correct conversion of codes and determines which SSA ERP order, acknowledgment, or invoice types can be sent through EDI. For example, purchase orders of the type PN3 can only be sent through EDI when the code PN3 is present in the conversion table (although it can be converted to a blank code).</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>All valid order types sent through EDI, along with the corresponding code in the message as specified in the code tables, need to be identified in the conversion table for order types (out). For example, the code in the application (the <Link href="/baanerp/ec/glossary/glossary#000076" role="glossary">code in application</Link> field) represents the order type (such as PN3) on the SSA ERP purchase order change document, and the code in the message (the <Link href="/baanerp/ec/glossary/glossary#000077" role="glossary">code in message field</Link> )represents the external value that is included in the outgoing message file(s).</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>The code in message is the value to which the code in application will be converted and that will reside in the exported message when the document (for example, the outgoing purchase order) is exported through SSA ERP EDI. The code in message must first be defined as an order type in the code tables and can be used to represent the order types used by the current <Link href="/baanerp/ec/glossary/glossary#000079" role="glossary">EDI</Link> standard for example, the <Link href="/baanerp/ec/glossary/glossary#000090" role="glossary">ANSI</Link>
			<Link href="/baanerp/ec/glossary/glossary#000091" role="glossary">X12</Link> purchase order type code.</Paragraph>
