Sold-to Business Partner

Usually a customer's purchase department, the business partner who orders goods or services from your organization, that owns the configurations you maintain, or for whom you perform a project.

The agreement with the sold-to business partner can include the following:

  • Default price and discount agreements
  • Sales order defaults
  • Delivery terms
  • The related ship-to and invoice-to business partner
Item Code System

An external, alternate way of coding items. Coding systems can be general standard systems (such as EAN) or systems that are dependent on a specific business partner.

Note

This field is used for conversion of an incoming EDI item code.

Customer Item

Identification code for an item (product, component, or part). The item code can consist of multiple fields or segments.

This field is automatically filled with the incoming EDI item code, which must be converted during processing EDI messages.

Note

If lines are manually added to releases with the Sales Release Origin set to EDI, you can leave the Item blank and only fill the Customer Item. Item code conversion will be applied during sales release processing if the conversion settings are correctly defined.

Item

In LN, the raw materials, subassemblies, finished products, and tools that can be purchased, stored, manufactured, sold, and so on.

An item can also represent a set of items handled as one kit, or exist in multiple product variants.

You can also define nonphysical items, which are not held in inventory but can be used to post costs or to invoice services to customers. The following are examples of nonphysical items:

  • Cost items (for example, electricity)
  • Service items
  • Subcontracting services
  • List items (menus/options)

If an incoming EDI item is unsuccessfully converted during processing EDI messages, this field is left empty.

Note

If lines are manually added to releases with the Sales Release Origin set to EDI, you can leave the Item blank and only fill the Customer Item. Item code conversion will be applied during sales release processing if the conversion settings are correctly defined.

Note

If conversion is needed during processing releases to schedules, Electronic Data Interchange automatically selects this check box.
