Note

The sequence number for the promotion matrix, which is automatically incremented by one each time you specify the relevant promotion matrix.

The description of the promotion matrix.

Ship-to BP

The business partner to whom you ship the ordered goods. This usually represents a customer's distribution center or warehouse. The definition includes the default warehouse from which you send the goods, the carrier who carries out the transport, and the related sold-to business partner.

The definition includes the default currency and exchange rate, invoicing method and frequency, information about the customer's credit limit, the terms and method of payment, and the related pay-by business partner.

BP Channel

A sales or distribution channel used to assign goods to customer groups.

You can link channels to sold-to business partners and to items. Channels can be used in connection with available-to-promise (ATP).

You can assign a certain ATP volume to a channel. This volume limits the ATP for that channel to a maximum.

Order Origin

The source of the information on which an order is based, such as LN sessions, or user defined sources such as phone, mail, and so on.

Order Type

A code used to determine the character or function of an order and, consequently, of the message.

Examples:

  • Normal order versus return order
  • Invoice versus credit note

The classification that determines which sessions (in which sequence) are part of the order procedure. You can also assign one of the following categories to the order type: cost order, collect order, return order, and subcontracting order.

Order type codes are required in the ERP EDI messages that relate to a single order. EDI messages that relate to single orders include messages that process:

  • Orders (ANSI X12 850, UN/EDIFACT ORDERS).
  • Order changes (ANSI X12 860, UN/EDIFACT ORDCHG).
  • Order acknowledgments (ANSI X12 855 and 865, UN/EDIFACT ORDRSP).
  • Invoices (ANSI X12 810, UN/EDIFACT INVOIC).

Payment Method

The way in which the payment (purchase invoice) or the direct debit (sales invoice) takes place. The payment method defines details such as, the maximum amount, the type of due date, if foreign currencies are allowed, and which details must be printed on the report.

These details are default values that you can change on the order or invoice as necessary.

Delivery Terms

The agreements with the business partner, concerning the way the goods are delivered. Relevant information is printed on various order documents.
