Maintaining Customer Data
Customer data is maintained in the Electronic Data Interchange application using the Customer Master Maintenance conversation. The actual programs, however, are part of the Accounts Receivable module and therefore procedures for performing Customer Master Maintenance can be found in the Accounts Receivable User Manual.
Certain fields in the Customer Master Maintenance conversation are critical when defining customers for the EDI Sales Order Generation program. Specific considerations related to EDI are highlighted below:
