- Outbound IMS Threads
-
The number of threads used to process outbound BODs. For processing a large number of outbound BODs, such as during an initial load, increase the number of threads to initiate concurrent processing and improve overall performance.
- Purge Successfully Processed IMS ION Inbox/Outbox BODs
-
Select this option to automatically purge inbound and outbound ION BOD records that were processed successfully for ION Messaging Service (IMS). The records are purged from SA ION Inbox/Outbox Inquiry. If this option is not selected, you must run the SA Administration ION Delete Processed I-O Records Report to purge to the processed records.
- Use IMS Service
-
If this option is selected, Distribution SX.e uses ION Messaging Service as a connection point to ION. Select this option if you are using ION Messaging Service to send and receive BODs. Selecting Use IMS Service enables the IMS connection for all companies. To enable the IMS connection for each company, you must also select the Use ION Inbox/Outbox option.Note: Select this option if you previously used the SX.e Extension (Fortress) to enable ION connectivity and now want to enable IMS.
This option must be selected for CloudSuite Distribution implementations. Do not change this setting.
ION Company Settings
- Activate Auto Ship To Generation
-
Select this option to auto-generate new ship to accounts from integrated CRM application sub-accounts and user-impact fixes accounts. When selected, ship to accounts are created from inbound sub-accounts added in the CRM. The next available ship to number is assigned to the new customer ship to record. The next available ship to number is the last number used incremented by one. This feature uses the Customer Maintenance SX.api program to make updates in Distribution SX.e.
If you use Project Job Management (PJM), select this option to create new customer ship to records before a quote is released. After you enter the ship to information in PJM, a Process ShipToPartyMaster BOD is sent to Distribution SX.e to request a new ship to record. Distribution SX.e creates the record and then sends the Acknowledge ShipToPartyMaster BOD. If this option is not selected, Distribution SX.e sends PJM an Acknowledge BOD with a response of Rejected. Additionally, a Confirm BOD is sent for data errors, which is passed to ION for posting to the Error BODs.

The Sync.ItemMaster BOD is generated when a product cross-reference record is created or updated.
