The Transmission Mode category defines all transmission modes that are used in Repetitive Supply. A transmission mode specifies the mediums that are used to send schedules to vendors. Different types of schedules, and combinations of schedules, may be sent. (For example, you may send a schedule via paper and/or via file and/or via EDI.)

This is a required category if the Repetitive Supply module is installed.

TRANSMISSION MODE

Required. The transmission mode describes the mediums by which a schedule is sent. Valid transmission modes are:

F - Transmission by fax

G - Transmission using GALIA-ODETTE protocol (EDI)

M - Transmission by minitel

P - Transmission using paper

T - Transmission by telex

A - Transmission using ANSI protocol (EDI)

V - Transmission using VDA protocol (EDI)

This screen maintains the detail information about the transmission mode that was entered on the Function Select screen.

DESCRIPTION

Required. This is the description of the transmission mode that was entered on the Function Select screen.

OUTPUT METHOD

Required. Three output methods may be maintained: paper, EDI, and file. There are two valid values for the paper and file output methods.

Y - A schedule via this output method will be sent when this mode is specified on the Delivery Conditions.

N - No schedule will be sent via this output method.

There are four valid values for the EDI output method.

A - The EDI schedule will use the ANSI protocol. If you use this output method, set the Version Number field on Reference File category I12 to 22.

D - The EDI schedule will not be transmitted, and the schedule generation will be for paper and/or file only, using VDA standards for paper and/or file schedule formats.

G - The EDI schedule will use the ODETTE protocol.

N - The EDI schedule will not be transmitted.

V - The EDI schedule will use the VDA protocol.
