Enter Customer Message Data

Explanation

This activity is used to define settings for customer messages sent with IFS EDI (electronic data interface),  MHS (message handling system) and E-INVOICE media codes. This mandatory task is to be performed by a system administrator or an equivalent personnel when using EDI and/or MHS messages.

When handling multi-site ordering, enter the message classes that are appropriate to the internal customer. This can for example be DESADV, DIRDEL, INVOIC, and ORDRSP. This is where the MHS message is being used between two sites on the same database. The name of the local database being used is entered in the Address field.

You can also create a new customer by copying general information on an existing customer.
