    Partner Hierarchy Name
    The partner hierarchy name is a classification for a group of communication partners. A partner hierarchy must exist for this configuration.
    Partner ID

    Effective to Date
    This field defines the end date of the valid period for the configuration.
    When editing, click the Calendar button to select the end date from a calendar.

    The message type defines the content of the message. Examples are VDA 4905, VDA 4915, ASC X12 830 Planning Schedule with Release Capability, or ASC X12 862 Shipping Schedule.
    Message Version
    The handling of different message versions is currently supported for UN-EDIFACT and ASC X12 messages. If a new message comes in without defined message version in the transformation rule, the transformation rule is updated automatically by the message version.

    The message direction is Inbound for incoming messages or Outbound for outgoing messages.
    Style Sheet Name
    The field determines the name of the XSLT style sheet that is used for the transformation. The XSLT style sheet defines how to transform an XML input file into an XML output file. The Format File Descriptions for incoming and outgoing messages are automatically linked to the style sheet if they are defined in the StyleSheetRules code list.

    Accounting Entity
    The accounting entity is a corporation or a subset of a corporation. The accounting entity is independent in regard to one or more operational functions or accounting functions. An accounting entity produces a P&L and balance sheet from a complete, balanced set of transactions, and is often a legal entity. An accounting entity is defined within a tenant and can contain locations.
