Send Direct Delivery Message
Explanation
In a multi-site scenario with direct delivery, from the supply site to an
end customer, the supply site can send an EDI message (direct delivery notification
message, DIRDEL) to the ordering site. This is a notification that the goods
have been sent to the end customer. You can use this function to re-send the
direct delivery notification message as well.
Prerequisites
- The customer order has been created by an internal purchase order. Note,
no validation is done for each customer order line to see if the demand
is for a transit or direct delivery.
- Basic data for the EDI message function must have been set up in IFS/Connectivity.
- You must have entered DIRDEL message for applicable internal customer
(ordering site), in the
Customer/Message Setup.
The Method Default option must be enabled for the message.
- The delivery note must have been created in
Create Delivery Note
for Customer Orders.
System Effects
Note, if the direct delivery message for some reason is sent for a transit
delivery, the incoming message will be discarded.
