Maintaining Part Data
All items to be processed by the EDI Sales Order Generation program of the Electronic Data Interchange application must be maintained using the Part Master Maintenance and Warehouse Balance Maintenance conversations. Procedures for performing Part Master Maintenance can be found in the Design Engineering User Manual. Procedures for performing Warehouse Balance Maintenance can be found in the Inventory Control User Manual.
The EDI Sales Order Generation program will validate the following part numbers:
· Internal Part Number
· Universal Product Code (UPC)
· Alternate Part Number
· Customer Part
These part numbers will be validated according to a sequence code defined on Reference File category G89. On this category, you select which part type fields will be used for validation, as well as the sequence in which they should be validated. The fields can be numbered from 1 to 4 and cannot be duplicated. At least one sequence number must be entered and it must be 1. For example, if a customer usually places orders by their customer part number, the sequence for customer part would be 1.
The EDI Sales Order Generation program will retrieve the part validation sequence for the customer. This sequence code is defined for the customer on the Customer Master Maintenance Sales Information 2 screen (AR630S07). According to the validation sequence, the processing will check each of the fields on the input file to see if a value was sent. The first input value that the program encounters that leads to an internal part number will be considered the entered part number and will be saved on the sales order line. The part validation sequence code is optional. If it is not specified for a customer, validation will only be performed against the internal part number, and the customer part number will be defaulted.
Certain fields in the Part Master Maintenance and Warehouse Balance Maintenance conversations are critical when defining parts for the EDI Sales Order Generation program. Specific considerations related to EDI are highlighted below:
