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
- Prior to using this window, define message classes and media codes in Foundation1. This is done in Setup
Connectivity/Message Class window, and the Setup Connectivity/Message Media page.
- To be able to enter a supplier message for a supplier, you must first have entered the identity of the
supplier.
