EDI Trading Partner form

The EDI Trading Partner form enables you to add and edit an EDI trading partner and assign EDI mailboxes to it.

This form does not display when you login to N4 at a facility or yard scope level.

You must create at least one EDI trading partner and assign it at least one EDI mailbox to send or receive EDI messages.

To add or edit an EDI trading partner:

1. In the Partner Name field, enter a name that uniquely identifies the trading partner.

2. From the Partner Business Unit drop-down list, select the master organization (business) for the trading partner.

3. From the Complex drop-down list, select the complex that defines the scope for the trading partner.

If you are logged in at a complex or a lower scope level, you can add trading partners only for the current complex.

4. Click Save.

You must save the EDI trading partner before you can assign an EDI mailbox to it.

To mark an EDI trading partner record as inactive, select the Retired check box in the EDI Trading Partner form.

If you access the EDI Trading Partner form using the Administration EDI EDI Configuration view, the following read-only fields are also displayed:
