Automatic Approval EDI Message, Customer Schedules

Explanation

Whenever a customer schedule is sent directly from the customer via EDI, you can chose if the EDI message should be converted to a customer schedule automatically or manually. Automatically means that as soon as a message is received it will generate a customer schedule automatically without any manual intervention. While manually means that the message stops in the Incoming Customer Schedule page, where it must be manually approved before it is converted into a customer schedule.

In order to let the EDI message be converted automatically, the Incoming Order/Schedule Approval field must be set to Automatically and a user needs to be entered in Approval User and EDI Coordinator on Customer/Sales/Message Defaults page.

Prerequisites

Conditions in IFS/Connectivity must be set up by the system administrator.

System Effects

An EDI message will not stop on the Incoming Customer Schedule page, but be automatically converted into a customer schedule
