BP Channel A sales or distribution channel used to assign goods to customer groups. You can link channels to sold-to business partners and to items.

Order Origin The source of the information on which an order is based, such as LN sessions, or user defined sources such as phone, mail, and so on. Order Type A code used to determine the character or function of an order and, consequently, of the message.

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).
