EDI Integrations Setup - Trading partners
EDI works on the basis that an external entity (trading partner) wants to send or receive information from us. To this end, the module is built to link the documents and their associated settings to those entities (trading partners). A trading partner can be created based on an existing D365 entity like a warehouse, vendor, customer or integration systems. Depending on the various modules installed, different trading partner types will be available for setup. It also provides the setup for trading partner level options as well as defining which incoming and outgoing document types are enabled for the trading partner.
To open the Trading partners page, go to EDI > Setup > Trading partners. Then set the fields as described in the following subsections.
The Core trading partner setup describes the setup applicable to All types of trading partners.
This section describes the setup applicable to Integration systems trading partners.
The Outgoing documents FastTab defines the outgoing EDI document types that have been configured and enabled for the trading partner. It brings the document template and mappings together with the settings profile to enable the document for the trading partner. Also specifies if an Inbound Functional Acknowledgement is required for each outgoing document.
