Use this session to define EDI messages supported by business partners.

You can define:

  • Message-related data and processing information.
  • Sales-order type and series for incoming messages.
  • Item-code system and character conversion for outgoing messages.
Note: If you want to collect sales orders on EDI invoices, the print settings must be the same for the various sales orders. If not, sales orders cannot be collected on the same invoice.

The number group specified here for incoming schedule releases must be the number group specified for sales-schedule releases in the Number Group Schedule Releases field in the Sales Contract Parameters (tdsls0100s300) session. The number group specified for incoming shipment notices must be the number group specified for shipments in the Number Group for Shipments field in the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session.

If this check box is selected, a report is printed that contains the data received (incoming message) or the document (outgoing message).

Incoming Message Processing Type

If this check box is selected, the order is blocked for further processing after receipt.

Note: This applies to incoming orders only. The order must be released before it can be processed any further.
Check Duplicate Order Numbers

If this check box is selected, LN checks if a document was received earlier.

Note: 

LN checks:

  • Whether a message reference was received earlier from the same business partner.
  • If the document number (order, invoice) has been previously received.

If no value is specified here for the item code system, the default value of the Qualifier 1 field for the item code in the conversion setups will be used to derive the item code system used to convert the item. In this case, the default value for the qualifier is checked against the Item Code IDs (ecedi2132m000) session to derive the item code system.
