The system routes incoming EDI order transactions that affect the sales order ledger, such as 850s or 832s, to trading partner group IDs.
If multiple customer ship-to accounts are associated with one group profile, you need to set up receive codes for each one. When a ship-to customer in this group sends an EDI order or request for bid, they include their receive code in the EDI document. As your system receives the document, it uses the receive code to determine the ship-to account to which to assign the transaction.
Typically, your trading partner provides these codes.
The receive code has a two-part format. Each part can be up to 17 alphanumeric characters. The parts are separated by a dash.
The ID preceding the dash identifies the bill-to customer. The ID is transmitted in the N1-BT segment (field four) of the document.
The ID following the dash identifies the ship-to customer. The ID is transmitted in the N1-ST segment (field four) of the document.
Use the EDI Group Profile Receive Code Info Table screen to enter group profile receive codes.
To enter a group profile receive code:
Display a trading partner profile on the EDI Trading Partner Profile Maintenance screen.
Note: If prompted, log on to the character-based system.
Select the Group ID and use the Group Profile Maintenance hot key to display the EDI Group Profile Maintenance screen.
Use the Edit Tables hot key, select Receive Code, and press Enter to display the EDI Group Profile Receive Code Info Table screen.
The system populates the Group # and Name fields with view-only information from the EDI Group Profile Maintenance screen.
In the Receive Code field, enter the receive code.
Note: If your trading partner does not provide a bill-to code, enter a dash followed by the ship-to code.
In the Customer Name field, enter the account with which to associate this receive code.
To enter additional receive codes, repeat steps 4 and 5.
Press Esc to save the list and return to the EDI Group Profile Maintenance screen.
