| # EDI Messages Supported by Business Partner (ecedi0111s000) Use this session to define EDI messages supported by business partners. You can define: Message-related data and processing information. Sales-order type and series for incoming messages. Item-code system and character conversion for outgoing messages. Note If you want to collect sales orders on EDI invoices, the print settings must be the same for the various sales orders. If not, sales orders cannot be collected on the same invoice. Related topics Using EDI messages by business partner Using business partners Business Partner The business partner that will use the EDI message. Related topics Using business partners Business Partner The description or name of the code. Organization The organization for which the message code is valid. Note Because several EDI organizations can use the same message, you must link each organization to the supported messages. Organization The description or name of the code. EDI Message The code that identifies a supported EDI message, as defined in the EDI Messages (ecedi0105s000) session. Related topics Using supported EDI messages EDI Message The description or name of the code. Direction The direction of the EDI message. Order Type The standard external order type for a specific EDI message. Order Type The description or name of the code. Network The network that is used for the combination of business partner and message. Network The description or name of the code. Conversion Setup A code that defines the layout of the ASCII file that contains the message data. This code contains information on the mapping of data elements between ERP application tables and the ASCII files. Although predefined conversion setups are available, you can create your own custom conversion setups. Conversion Setup The description or name of the code. Person Responsible The user assigned to the combination of business partner and message. Note This is for information and reporting purposes, and can be used for approving saved messages to be received. Person Responsible The description or name of the code. Number Group The number group to which the series applies. The number group is displayed on reports for information, and is used to validate the series entered for incoming and outgoing orders, schedule releases, and shipment notices. The number group entered here for incoming orders, schedule releases, and shipment notices must be consistent with the number group specified for these documents in their respective parameters. Specifically, the number group entered here for incoming orders, must be the number group specified for sales orders in the Number Group Sales Orders field in the Sales Order Parameters (tdsls0100s400) session. The number group specified here for incoming schedule releases must be the number group specified for sales-schedule releases in the Number Group Schedule Releases field in the Sales Contract Parameters (tdsls0100s300) session. The number group specified for incoming shipment notices must be the number group specified for shipments in the Number Group for Shipments field in the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session. Note Number groups are used to split orders into groups. Number Group The description or name of the code. Print If this check box is selected, a report is printed that contains the data received (incoming message) or the document (outgoing message). Processing Type The way in which the incoming EDI messages will be processed, automatically or interactively. Block If this check box is selected, the order is blocked for further processing after receipt. Note This applies to incoming orders only. The order must be released before it can be processed any further. Check Duplicate Order Numbers If this check box is selected, LN checks if a document was received earlier. Note LN checks: Whether a message reference was received earlier from the same business partner. If the document number (order, invoice) has been previously received. Automatically Prepare Error Notification If this check box is selected, error notification messages will be automatically prepared if errors are found during the validation of the incoming message. Note This only applies to incoming messages. Sales Order Type A code used to determine the character or function of an order and, consequently, of the message. Examples: Normal order versus return order Invoice versus credit note The classification that determines which sessions (in which sequence) are part of the order procedure. You can also assign one of the following categories to the order type: cost order, collect order, return order, and subcontracting order. Order type codes are required in the ERP EDI messages that relate to a single order. EDI messages that relate to single orders include messages that process: Orders (ANSI X12 850, UN/EDIFACT ORDERS). Order changes (ANSI X12 860, UN/EDIFACT ORDCHG). Order acknowledgments (ANSI X12 855 and 865, UN/EDIFACT ORDRSP). Invoices (ANSI X12 810, UN/EDIFACT INVOIC). Note This field is only used for incoming order messages. Sales Order Type The description or name of the code. Series The number series for the documents. This applies to incoming orders, schedule releases, and shipment notices. Note Number series are defined with the First Free Numbers (tcmcs0150m000) session. Series The description or name of the code. Item Code System The item code system that will be used to convert item codes in outgoing messages. The item code can be converted to its alternative item, based on this item code system and the data defined in the Item Code System - Items (tcibd0104m000) session. If no value is specified here for the item code system, the default value of the Qualifier 1 field for the item code in the conversion setups will be used to derive the item code system used to convert the item. In this case, the default value for the qualifier is checked against the Item Code IDs (ecedi2132m000) session to derive the item code system. Item Code System The description or name of the code. Character Conversion A code used to define how characters from the application environment should be transferred to the ASCII files. For example, characters can be converted to uppercase, or specific punctuation marks can be ignored in an EDI message. Character Conversion The description or name of the code. Generate - To Company If, in a multi-site environment, EDI messages must be sent to another company than the business partner's affiliated company, use this field to enter the required company. Note You can only fill this field if the message is outgoing and the entered network is a multi-company network. After the company number is entered, LN creates the necessary sub directories in the network path. |
