Multicompany communication

EDI allows you to exchange data between two or more local companies. For each network, you can indicate whether or not it is a multicompany network by setting the Multicompany field in the Networks (ecedi0120s000) session.

Depending on your selection, ERP generates the following directories: For multicompany:

• appl_comm
• appl_text
• trace
• store_recv

For external communication:

• appl_from
• appl_to
• appl_text
• trace
• store_recv
• store_sent

• For multicompany communication, in the appl_comm, appl_text, and store_recv directories, ERP generates the subdirectory cXXX (where XXX is the company number).

The same multicompany network must be generated for each internal company with which data is exchanged. The value of the Path field must be the same in each company. The directory structure for each company must also be identical.
