Configuring the M3 Business Engine API

From M3 Graphical Lot Tracker, you can use the M3 Business Engine API functionality to reclassify lots directly from the Stock Product and Stock Component reports. The M3 Business Engine API that is used for reclassification is MMS850MI.

To enable and configure the M3 Business Engine API, complete these steps:

  1. In M3 Graphical Lot Tracker, open the Application Settings panel.
  2. Specify these configuration values:
    .M3API:API
    To enable this setting, select the Enabled/Disabled check box.
    .M3API:E0PA
    In the String field, specify the value of the Partner field that is defined in ‘Stock Msg Partner. Open’ (MMS865).
    .M3API:USD1
    .M3API:USD2
    .M3API:USD3
    .M3API:USD4
    Optionally, in the String field, specify the user-defined values to be passed to the function call of the MMS850MI program.
    Note: In ‘Stock Msg Partner. Open’ (MMS865), the stock message partner must be defined with these values:
    • The message direction must be set to Input.
    • The message type must be set to WMS.
    • The partner must match the value of the .M3API:E0PA setting, which, by default, is GLT.

    See Settings in the Application Settings panel. Details are provided on M3API configuration options.
