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.
