Reviewing the list of partner ID setups

The Partner IDs page includes a list of the defined partner ID setups.

To review the list of partner ID setups:

  1. Select Transformation > Configuration > Partner IDs.
  2. Review this information:
    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
    The partner ID is the hierarchy node of the configuration that identifies a communication partner or a group of communication partners.
    Message Type
    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. The message type depends on the message standard.
    Note: For trading partners who require the Shipment Cancellation message to be sent to a different data source name (i.e., final recipient) than the regular shipment , a new code list must be activated in the FeatureActivation code list. On this code list, add the Code value UseShipmentCanceledMessageType. Activating this code results in process shipments with the status of Canceled to be created as messages with the message type Shipment Canceled BOD instead of Shipment.
