An overhead setup, called Global Overhead, is defined for each combination of the Organization, EDI message, Direction, and Field type. The overhead setup contains the header data of the EDI message. If you define an overhead setup, the Conversion Setup Code code remains empty.

In this case, the Conversion Setup Code field must be filled in with a code.
