Multi-Language Document List

Table 1 lists customer and vendor documents which can be printed in a secondary language.

Customer and Vendor Documents that can be Printed in a Secondary Language.

When MAC-PAC produces any of these documents except the Bill of Lading (OP690A), it checks the Language Code field on the Customer Master File (ARCUSTP) or the Vendor Master File (APMASTP).  If the Language Code Field is blank, MAC-PAC prints the documents in the system's base language.  If the Language Code is filled, MAC-PAC will print the document in that specified language.  For a Language Code, to be valid it must be defined on the Reference File in category D92.

Note:  the Bill of Lading report (OP690A) does not check the Customer Master file (ARCUSTP) to decide which language to use when printing.  Instead, it looks at the language code in either the Carrier Master file (CF160M) or Reference File category 007.  The language code used depends on whether you are printing the carrier copy or the customs copy of the BOL.  For the carrier copy, the language code is taken from the Carrier Master file.  For the customs copy, the language code is taken from Reference File category 007 for the ship-to customer's country code.  As with the other multi-language reports, if the language code is blank the report prints out in the system's base language.
