ContainerAggregationMode

This code list includes the modes in which containers are aggregated for the label printing.

Note: This code list must not be changed.

CommodityCodes

A list of commodity codes that are delivered by the customs authority is included in this code list. The code list contains, for example, CN codes (Combined Nomenclature of the European Union) or HTS codes (Official Harmonized Tariff Schedule from the US government).

CustomerContainerTypePatterns

The entry No. of Layers to Add of this code list is used by the BMW Container Management. In this business process, the entry helps to calculate the number of layers in the container structure. The resulting value is attached as a two-digit number to the customer container ID. The calculation is only performed, if the option No. of Layers to Add is selected from the drop-down list Pattern for Formatting Customer Container Type in the Customers or TradingPartners code list.

CustomTradingPartner

Custom trading partner codes are stored separately from the standard trading partner codes. The code list CustomTradingPartner can be used to define the custom trading partner codes.

For customers who are migrating from a previous version of the application, the data migration service does not convert the custom trading partner codes. These codes must be reentered after the data migration.

DestinationLabelTypes

This code list defines the destination label types.

Note: This code list must not be changed.

DocumentPrintingModes

This code list defines the document print modes. The code list is used as referenced code list for the WaybillTypes code list.

  • None: No printout
  • PrintPerShipper: Print per shipper
  • PrintPerShipment: Print per included shipment
Note: This code list must not be changed.

EDIPlantMappingFord

The EDI plant information is mapped from a 2-character code that is used in VDA messages to a 5-character value. The 5-character value of the Ford plant and the information whether a mapping exists are evaluated from the code lists EDIPlantMappingFord and MappingsEDIPlant. The mapping is used to create a print request and to select the correct InterFormNG print template. The mapping has been implemented for labels of the trading partner A0060 Ford Europe.

The mapping of the EDI plant information in the code list EDIPlantMappingFord includes these code entries:

  • Name: Short code of the EDI plant that is sent in the VDA message.
  • Mapped EDI Plant: The corresponding code that is specified in the plant list of the trading partner A0060 Ford Europe.
  • Short Description: The name of the plant that is specified in the plant list of the trading partner A0060 Ford Europe.

For example, Name = "50", Mapped EDI Plant = "0095A", Short Description = "Ford FCSD Cologne".

See the description of the code list MappingsEDIPlant.

EXMNotesActive

This code list is used to activate notes support in shipments, shipment lines and containers.

ExpectedDeliveryDatePrintRequestMode

This code list provides a list of options that you can select from the Expected Delivery Date drop-down list in the Customers code list.

LabelComparisonFields

This code list may be used to configure label comparison fields to determine logic for label reprinting. Each row identifier must be equal to the Customer Party ID of the Shipment.

If a SyncShipment sends one or more container IDs that already were present in a ProcessPackageLabel previously imported, the labels should be reprinted if a change is detected on those containers or at the header level. These conditions are:

  • If the number of children of the repeated Container changed
  • If a new child (new ContainerID) of the repeated container replaces another child container. This means the total number of child containers remains the same for this repeated container.
  • If the Gross Weight of the repeated Container changed
  • If the Net Weight of the repeated Container changed
  • If the Total Volume of the repeated Container changed
  • If the Packaging Item ID of the repeated Container changed
  • If the Item ID changed
  • If the Customer ID changed
  • If the Ship To ID changed
  • If the Ship From ID changed
  • If the Carrier ID changed
  • If the External Supplier Number changed

This code list employs these conditions as Boolean properties (by means of selected or unselected check boxes). A selected check box indicates that the condition of this field prompts a reprint if the value is different. An unselected check box means that the comparison of this field value should be skipped in determining whether to reprint a label.

LabelFormats

This code list includes the label formats Large, Medium, Small, and Z3425.

Note: This code list must not be changed.

LabelTemplateMapping

If a trading partner information is not available in the PackageLabel BOD, then the Shipping area receives the PackageLabelTemplateCode from LN. The code is used to assign the correct trading partner from the code list LabelTemplateMapping. The property value Item Label Type of this trading partner is used as label type.

For example: PackageLabelTemplateCode=abc; code list LabelTemplateMapping: abc=A9100.

This code list has been implemented to support the Line-side Labeling process in the Shipping area. See the description of the code list PackageLabelDocumentTypes.

LabelTemplatePrintoutMappings

This code list defines the label categories to be printed based on the PackageLabelTemplateCode element of the PackageLabel BOD imported in the Shipping area. These codes for the package label template are included:

  • MML: Master/Mixed Label
  • MSL: Mixed Single Label
  • PAL: Pack Label
  • QRL: Quick Receive Label

PoolPoints

This code list includes the list of defined pool points. A pool point has parameters that are used to build a master shipment in the Shipping area. These parameters are the pool point address, the DUNS Number and the Tax ID:

  • Automatically Create Master Shipment: If this check box is selected, then master shipments are created automatically. Shippers are assigned the same master bill of lading number, if they fulfill certain criteria. They must have the same pool point ID, the same trading partner, and a specified time frame.
  • Start of Shipment Date Time Frame (Hours): Start date of the time frame that is constitutive for the creation of master shipments. The specified hours are subtracted from the shipment date of the master shipment.
  • End of Shipment Date Time Frame (Hours): End date of the time frame that is constitutive for the creation of master shipments. The specified hours are added to the shipment date of the master shipment. The specified values indicate that shippers with shipping dates within this time frame can be combined into a master shipment. These shippers can be sent to the pool point using the same truck.
  • Name: The name of the pool point's address.
  • 'Attention of' Name: This field contains the name of the person the request is directed to.
  • Unit: Name of the unit
  • Floor: Number of the floor
  • Building: Number of the building
  • Building Name: Name of the building
  • Post Office Box: Post office box
  • Street: Name of the street
  • Postal Code: Postal code of the address
  • City: Name of the city
  • Country: Name of the country
  • Country Subdivision: Name of the country subdivision
  • DUNS Number: The Data Universal Numbering System number is a unique nine-digit code that is used to identify companies and group entities within an organization. It is issued at a company's request by the business information provider, Dun & Bradstreet.
  • Tax ID: The tax ID is a number used to identify legal persons or businesses. The tax authorities assign the tax numbers to the registered businesses. Your business partners must provide their tax number. Business partners without a tax number are considered to be private persons.

Example: Start of Shipment Date Time Frame (Hours) = "0", End of Shipment Date Time Frame (Hours) = "3". In this example, the shipment time of the master shipment is assumed to be 12 AM. Shippers with a shipment time from 12 AM to 3 PM are consolidated to one master shipment. To include shippers with a shipment time of 11 AM in the master shipment, specify "1" in the Start of Shipment Date Time Frame (Hours) field. The specified value is subtracted from the shipment time of the master shipment. The shippers that are scheduled for 11 AM are included.
