If DI documents ORDRSP, DESADV, and INVOIC (type Normal, Consolidated or Credit) are activated under DI method ACCEMAIL for the business partner, then the e-mail address displayed in this field is defaulted to the order, confirmation, delivery, and invoice address panels, if external documents are to be printed according to the order type.

Send address 2: This field is applicable for DI document ORDRSP, and is used when that DI document is activated under DI method ACCEMAIL for the business partner. Displays the second email address to which the order confirmation should be sent. This e-mail address is defaulted to the Sales order header, confirmation address panels in the Work with sales/purchase order routines, if external documents are to be printed according to the order type.

Send routine id: The information stated here must match that which is entered in the Work with DI transfer routines program. The system preloads CDMSND. If you are planning on sending information at different times of the day (e.g., ITEM data once per hour and ACCOUNT data once per day), it is recommended that you define unique send routine id’s. When the DI transfer routine is activated, and the applicable run interval has been reached for the send routine id, the system will look in the Sending company for something to be sent.

Receive address

For DC1 Corporate Data Maintenance related documents in the Receiving company: Displays the address from where the documents are received, (i.e. the Archive directory defined in the Sending company).

For DC1 Data Interchange related documents: Displays the address from where the DI documents are received.

File/mail names out

This field is valid for both DC1 Corporate Data Maintenance and DC1 Data Interchange related documents. For DC1 Corporate Data Maintenance related documents, this field is only displayed in the Sending company and is a recommended entry. Displays the name of the file that will be transferred to the receiver. The more variables you use, the more unique the name.

The following variables are available for use and should be separated with slashes (/):

Variable	Description
I	Document name
Q	Sequence number that the system will assign from the E-connection sequence number file (SROESN)
Y	Year (four digits)
M	Month
D	Day
h	hour
m	minutes
s	seconds
F	FTP sequence number (unique number from the E-connection sequence number file. Note: This is currently recommended only for the DC1 Data Interchange routine.

Note: If this field is left blank, the system will allocate a default name, in the format: ASWDFT/Q, where the /Q will be replaced with the unique e-connection sequence number. As this default name will not allow the receiver to identify what data information is being sent, it is recommended that you complete this field.

You must make this a unique name for the following reasons:

To prevent files from being overridden. If data is sent several times a day and the file name is not unique, the data will be overridden every time a new file is sent with the same name.
For the receiving company to be able to identify from whom the data is being sent and what type of data is being sent.

Example of defining the File/mail names outbound string in the DC1 Sending company:

File/mail names out	Result in Receiver’s Archive directory
/I/Q/Y, where I = Internal doc name (e.g., ITEM)	ITEM(sequence number)2002
DC1AB/I/Q/Y.txt, where I = TABLE	DC1ABTABLE(sequence number)2002.txt
DC1HQTAB/Q.xml	DC1HQTAB(sequence number).xml

File/mail names in

Displays the name of the file that will be picked up by the receiver. There are several ways to enter the inbound string, but it must match the string specified in the File/mail names out field on this panel in the Sending company for the applicable document.

Example of defining the File/Mail names inbound string in the DC1 Receiving company:

Outbound string in Sending company	Inbound entry in Receiving company
/I/Q/Y, where I = Internal doc name (e.g., ITEM)	ITEM*
DC1AB/I/Q/Y.txt, where I = TABLE	DC1ABTABLE* or DC1ABTABLE*.txt
DC1HQTAB/Q.xml	DC1HQTAB* or DC1HQTAB*.xml

Annual forecasted demand: 100 PCS
Order quantity: 25 PCS
Percentage defined in this field: 10 %
10 % of the annual forecast is 10 PCS. The quantity on the order line is 25 PCS, which means that the percentage is exceeded.

If DC1 Inventory Control is not installed, then the annual forecasted value is established on the Inventory information (DMR00302) panel in the Item file.
If DC1 Inventory Control is installed and activated the annual forecasted value is displayed on the Inventory management (INVD0352) panel in the Item file.

Orders where the percentage is exceeded will result in an error message during document processing and the sales order will not be retrieved.

Allowed price var %: This field is only applicable for sales orders received. If a percentage is displayed, the system checks if the sales price retrieved according the price rules in DC1, differs more than this percentage, compared with the sales price that the customer defined in the DI document. If it does, an error message will appear during document processing and the sales order will not be retrieved.

This field is used to activate a warning flag if the following applies:
A delivery schedule was received from a customer and updated in the Delivery schedule file. The customer sends a new delivery schedule which is received and updated in the Delivery schedule file. If the total quantity on the new delivery schedule, differs from the quantity on the old delivery schedule with more than the percentage defined in this field, the warning flag will be activated.

The system checks the quantities during the following period on the delivery schedules: From Schedule start date and a number of days ahead. The number of days are defined in the Warning horizon field below.

When receiving a delivery schedule and the quantity differs more than allowed, the Warning, total chg % field on the delivery schedule will be set to YES.

If the system should not perform this control, the field is blank.

Note: The warning percentage can also be defined in DIS control file. If nothing is defined here, the information in DIS control file will be used.

Forecast factor

This field is only displayed if DC1 Manufacturing or DC1 Inventory Control is installed and activated and it is used in conjunction with the Incl in forecast field on this panel. Displays the factor which will be multiplied with the forecast defined (by the customer) in the delivery schedule. The forecast factor is used to adjust the customer forecast. The calculation will be performed when running the Start inventory calculations program (if DC1 Inventory Control is installed and activated) and in the Create requirement forecast program (if DC1 Manufacturing is installed and activated).

For example:

Forecast defined in delivery schedule: 1000
Forecast factor: 1,1
Forecast which will be used: 1100

Displays the factor which will be multiplied with the forecast defined (by the customer) in the delivery schedule, to calculate the annual forecast. The calculation will be performed when running the Start inventory calculations program.

Warn. limit %, line

This field is used to activate a warning flag if the following applies:
A delivery schedule was received from a customer and updated in the Delivery schedule file. The customer sends a new delivery schedule which is received and updated in the Delivery schedule file. If the quantity for any item included on the new delivery schedule, differs from the quantity for the corresponding item on the old delivery schedule with more than the percentage defined in this field, the warning flag will be activated.

The system checks the quantities for each day during the following period on the delivery schedules: From Schedule start date and a number of days ahead. The number of days is defined in the Warning horizon field below.

When receiving a delivery schedule and the quantity differs more than allowed, the field Warning, chg % line on the delivery schedule will be set to YES.

If the system should no perform this control, the field is blank.

Note: The warning percentage can also be defined in DIS control file. If nothing is defined here, the information in DIS control file will be used.
