For each customer, you can set up several addresses. For each of these addresses, you can set up specific EDI settings.

For example, you can define:

  • The Global Location Number (GLN code). You can use the GLN code in EDI to identify the unique location.
  • Which EDI document flows are not applicable for a address. By default, the EDI document flows, as defined for the customer, are applicable. However, sometimes, an EDI document flow is not applicable for a customer address.
    Example: For a specific address, no EDI confirmation is required. In this case, you can disable the use of the EDI confirmation document flow for the customer address. As a result, when a sales order is created for the customer address, on the sales order header, in the EDI section, in the EDI confirmation field 'No' is selected.
    Note: On the sales order header, you can change the default EDI document flow settings.
