Enter Supplier Message Data
Explanation
Use this activity to define settings for IFS EDI (electronic data interface)
and MHS (message handling system) supplier messages. This mandatory task is
to be performed by a system administrator or an equivalent personnel when using
EDI and/or MHS messages.
A supplier message has four settings:
- Message Class: A message class is the internal name of the type of message.
For example, this can be an order response message (ORDRSP).
- Media Code: The media code defines how the message should be processed,
i.e., using an EDI converter or using the internal message handling system
(MHS).
- Address: The address tells where the message should be sent. When using
the internal message handling system, this can be an Internet e-mail address.
- Method Default: This setting gives you the possibility to have a message
class that uses varying media for sending or receiving messages.
The message setup information is required when:
- The supplier uses EDI protocols.
- The supplier is an internal supplier and used in the multi-site functionality.
Prerequisites

Class window, and the Setup Connectivity/Message
Media page.

have entered the identity of the supplier.
