External Company/Warehouse (EDI)

This field is only used for remotely sourced orders that are sent to the remote site via EDI transmission.  It indicates the company/warehouse combination that this vendor uses to identify purchase orders received from the site (i.e. the site creating the purchase order to send to this vendor is defined as a customer at this vendor site and this company/warehouse combination used to sell to this customer).  This field is not validated when entered in the maintenance conversation; however, if not blank, it can be used later to validate the vendor when inbound EDI processing purchase order acknowledgments and receipt requests.
