EDI Default Data In Setup Module BaanERP System
EDI Default Data in the EDI module is user-definable. However, Baan provides all the necessary EDI data as default data in demo company 812. To avoid entering or changing this data in each of your companies, you can export the setup data to an ASCII file and import them into other companies. You can export the setup data from this company using the Export EDI Data (ecedi6221m000) session. This session creates a file called Defaults.edi in the EDI directory that is specified in the Standard Path field in the EDI parameters of company 812.
Before you run the Export EDI Data (ecedi6221m000) session, you must create an EDI directory in $BSE and make sure that the full path of this directory is specified in the Standard Path field of the EDI parameters of company 812. If you did not defined a valid default text group for your user in the User Data (ttaad2500m000) session, text is not exported.
In principle, you only need to export the EDI data once. However, you can make changes to the default data (organizations, networks, code or conversion tables, or conversion setups) in any company and use the export/import sessions to transfer that data to other companies. Once exported, the Defaults.edi file
contains the default EDI setup data for import into your normal Baan company database.
You should export the data for organization X12 or for organization EDI if you want the correct default data for external and internal EDI.
You can import the exported default data into the EDI modules of the individual companies. Once you have exported the Defaults.edi file from the Demo Company 812 you can import the data back into other companies. You must assign a default text group to the user who executes the import before running the Import EDI Data (ecedi6220m000) session because the import will read a number of evaluation expressions, which are stored as text blocks. You can complete this task in the User Data (ttams1100s000) session. To import the Defaults.edi file into your new company, run the Import EDI Data (ecedi6220m000) session.
