BaanERP Business Partner Data By Network
BaanERP business partner data is needed to communicate with company trading business partner over a specified network. Because you will communicate with your trading business partner over a specified network(s), you must define the network address of the trading business partner for the specified network(s). This address is the technical address that is used in the envelope information (message overhead) of any EDI message sent to or received from that business partner.
For messages exported from the Baan application for external EDI, the translation/communication software can use this network address to determine where to route the message. For messages imported into the Baan application, the network address identifies the sender of the received message. For example, in the default data provided for the conversion setups (the default message file layouts/mappings), the network address, in conjunction with the network code, determines the business partner on incoming messages.
In any case, this network address identifies a business partner by network. You may choose to have the network address match the business partner code or you can use this field to specify the actual technical address of your business partner. Your choice depends on the functionality of your translation/communication software.
