SA Administrator Options - Integrations - ION Interface Options field descriptions

Fields are listed in alphabetic order.

ION System Settings

Hybrid Cloud Tenant ID

This field is used for hybrid ION integrations only. If you are running Distribution SX.e on-premises, connecting to Infor Operating Service CE (cloud-enabled), specify your Tenant ID for the cloud Infor OS provisioned for you by the Infor cloud team.

Leave this field blank if you are running both Distribution SX.e and Infor Operating Service on-premises.

If you are running CloudSuite Distribution, this field is not used. Leave it blank.

See the Infor Distribution SX.e Configuration Guide for Infor Operating Service for instructions for configuring a hybrid ION integration.

Outbound IMS Threads

The number of threads used to process outbound BODs. For processing a large number of outbound BODs, such as during an initial load, increase the number of threads to initiate concurrent processing and improve overall performance.

Purge Successfully Processed IMS ION Inbox/Outbox BODs

Select this option to automatically purge inbound and outbound ION BOD records that were processed successfully for ION Messaging Service (IMS). The records are purged from SA ION Inbox/Outbox Inquiry. If this option is not selected, you must run the SA Administration ION Delete Processed I-O Records Report to purge to the processed records.

Use IMS Service

If this option is selected, Distribution SX.e uses ION Messaging Service as a connection point to ION. Select this option if you are using ION Messaging Service to send and receive BODs. Selecting Use IMS Service enables the IMS connection for all companies. To enable the IMS connection for each company, you must also select the Use ION Inbox/Outbox option.

Note: Select this option if you previously used the SX.e Extension (Fortress) to enable ION connectivity and now want to enable IMS.

This option must be selected for CloudSuite Distribution implementations. Do not change this setting.

ION Company Settings

Activate Auto Ship To Generation

Select this option to auto-generate new ship to accounts from integrated CRM application sub-accounts and user-impact fixes accounts. When selected, ship to accounts are created from inbound sub-accounts added in the CRM. The next available ship to number is assigned to the new customer ship to record. The next available ship to number is the last number used incremented by one. This feature uses the Customer Maintenance SX.api program to make updates in Distribution SX.e.

If you use Project Job Management (PJM), select this option to create new customer ship to records before a quote is released. After you enter the ship to information in PJM, a Process ShipToPartyMaster BOD is sent to Distribution SX.e to request a new ship to record. Distribution SX.e creates the record and then sends the Acknowledge ShipToPartyMaster BOD. If this option is not selected, Distribution SX.e sends PJM an Acknowledge BOD with a response of Rejected. Additionally, a Confirm BOD is sent for data errors, which is passed to ION for posting to the Error BODs.

AP Inbound Invoice Processing (810)

Select this option to activate processing for EDI 810 Invoice documents using the Process SupplierInvoice BOD. When you select this option, the ION-related settings that are required to receive invoices are available in Vendor Setup.

AR Inbound Remittance Advice/Lockbox Processing (820)

Select this option to activate processing for EDI 820 Payment Order/Remittance Advice documents using the Process RemittanceAdvice BOD.

PD Process Vendor Rebate Claim Responses (849)

Select this option to activate processing for EDI 849 Response to Product Transfer Account Adjustment documents using the Process SXVendorRebateClaim BOD.

PO Inbound Advance Ship Notice Processing

Select this option to activate processing for EDI 856 Advance Ship Notice documents using the Process AdvanceShipNotice BOD.

PO Inbound Purchase Order Acknowledgement Processing (855)

Select this option to activate processing for EDI 855 Purchase Order Acknowledgment documents using the Process PurchaseOrder BOD. When you select this option, the ION-related settings that are required to receive PO acknowledgments are available in Vendor Setup.

Use ION Inbox/Outbox

If this option is selected, Distribution SX.e uses the IOBox tables to handle inbound and outbound BODs with IMS for this company. Use SA ION Inbox/Outbox Inquiry to view BODs that are pending or processed.

Note: Select this option if you previously used the SX.e Extension (Fortress) to enable ION connectivity and now want to enable IMS for this company.

IMS Service Settings

Inbound Message Service Operator

An operator value is required by inbound BOD processing. The operator is not affected by this setting.

This setting applies to the ION Messaging Service only. If you use CloudSuite Distribution do not change this value.

Note: Verify that the operator specified in the Inbound Message Service Operator field is set up in SA Operator Setup with an IFS User value. An IFS User is required for inbound BOD processing and ION API integrations, such as Infor Document Management. This is true even for 'SYS' operators that are used for on-premises Distribution SX.e implementations that are migrated to cloud or integrate to Infor Operating Service CE (cloud enabled).

Enable Product Cross Reference Publishing in ItemMaster BOD

Select the types of product cross-reference to include in the Show ItemMaster BOD. The BOD is generated when you run the SA Administrator ION Initial Load Report for the ItemMaster BOD and specify the logical id for the integrated application on the report. Product cross-references are set up in Product Extended Product Cross Reference Setup.
