The date and time that the parameters are valid. The parameters
are valid up to the effective date of a more recent parameter setting.
EDI Parameters (ecedi0100s000)Use this session to set parameters that determine how the Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) module operates.
Effective Date The date and time that the parameters are valid. The parameters
are valid up to the effective date of a more recent parameter setting. Description The description or name of the code. EDI Implemented If this check box is selected, EDI is implemented. Standard Path The directory in which all EDI-related data is located. The
actual messages for your company are stored in a series of subdirectories,
which will be defined at a later stage (at the network level). The directory defined here is the directory:
Note The directory entered in this field must exist on your system. Once you begin transmitting messages, do not change the standard path identification. Our Identification Your own network address. Note For internal EDI, you can use the company number as an address. For external EDI, the translation/communication software can use the communication address to identify you as the sender of the message. Fixed Part The fixed part of your reference number. Note Once you begin transmitting messages, do not change the way the reference number is created. Date Format The date format used as part of the reference number. Note When selecting the date format, remember that the reference number consists of 14 positions. Once you begin transmitting messages, do not change the way the reference number is created. First Free Number The first free number used in the reference number of the next
outgoing message. Note You can manually adjust the first free number. Once you begin transmitting messages, do not change the way the reference number is created. Action on First Message on New Date Choose how to increment sequence numbers. Note Because the date is included in the reference number, the number will be unique on a new date, even if the incrementing number is repeated with 0 or 1. You can also keep incrementing the number. In that case, that number tells you how many messages have been generated so far. Store All Received Messages If this check box is selected, all received EDI messages are logged in a
special ( store_recv) directory. Store All Sent Messages If this check box is selected, all sent EDI messages are logged in a special
( store_sent) directory. Suppress Blank Text Lines on Generation If this check box is selected, the empty lines in the text blocks of
outgoing EDI messages are suppressed. This function limits the text content to
significant information. Suppress Blank Generated Text Fields If this check box is selected, and the text fields for outgoing messages are
not filled, the fields are suppressed in the EDI message. This function limits
the message content to significant information. ] The order series to use for address codes that are
automatically generated by EDI, when specific address information is received
on incoming EDI messages. ] The user-defined series that will be used when generating
incoming sales schedules for incoming EDI schedule-related messages. Note This is the series used to create schedule records. Do not confuse this series with the series used to create schedule releases, which is specified at the message by business partner level. Interchange Message The name of the dummy message used in various organizations to
describe the layout of the interchange header and the joint message overhead. Interchange Header Conversion Setup The name of the conversion setup in which the interchange
header layout is described. Note This conversion setup must be included in the
dummy message in the Interchange Message field. Message Overhead Conversion Setup The name of the conversion setup that contains the layout of
the joint message overhead. Note The conversion setup must be included in the
dummy message in the Interchange Message field. The conversion setup can
identify the overhead in all other messages. Make Use of Tracefile If this check box is selected, trace files are generated. Note In case of a read or generation error, the log file can provide more insight into the problem. Typically this field is selected during the implementation and testing phases of EDI. Name of Tracefile A file that contains process data about read or created ASCII
files. Read in Zero Price If the price field is included in the incoming conversion
setup and a value of zero comes in, this check box determines whether or not
this zero price is used. If this check box is selected, a zero price is inserted from the file and considered as manually entered. If this check box is cleared, a default price is retrieved. Note If the price field is not included in the conversion setup, LN searches for a default price. Read in Zero Discount If the discount field is included in the incoming conversion
setup and a value of zero comes in, this check box determines whether or not
this zero discount is used. If this check box is selected, a zero discount is inserted from the file and considered as manually entered. If this check box is cleared, a default discount is retrieved. Note If the discount field is not included in the conversion setup, LN searches for a default discount.
