This panel displays all DI methods defined in the DI methods table. Each method can be activated for the current Business partner by selecting the method and entering method specific data.
For DC1 Corporate Data Maintenance purposes: If you are planning on sending/receiving data for more than one DI document it is recommended that you define all the sending/receiving file name information, per activated DI Document, on the DI Documents, All panel instead. This is to be able to assign unique names for the data being sent and therefore ensure that the receiver can easily recognise what data is being sent, from whom the data is being sent and that no data is overridden.
