Additional Processing Options

Use Item Mapping

By default, the "Use Item Mapping" option is not selected. Inter-Entity Trade will use the source document item in the creation of the corresponding destination document. The item entered in the source document must exist in the destination database and be active in Inventory Control.

Selecting the "Use Item Mapping" option will instruct Inter-Entity Trade to map items found in the source document to either the same or a different item when creating the destination document. If using this option, you must then map items for all OE / PO Trade partners in O/E - P/O Trade Setup.

See details: To enter Item Mapping details .

Example: If item A1-100/A is mapped to item A1-100/B, then finding the former item in a source document will result in the latter item being used in the corresponding destination document.

Note: When this option is enabled, all necessary items must be mapped in the OE/PO Trade Setup screen. You cannot map only the different items. If IY Trade encounters an item that is not mapped, it will consider this an error, and fail to create the corresponding trade document. Once the item has been mapped, the transactions can be reprocessed from the OE/PO Periodic Processing. Refer to OE/PO Periodic Processing

OE-PO Rate Option

Select “Use Default currency rate” to allow the target module to set the currency rate as per the target entity currency setup.

Select “Use User Specified Rate” to force the exchange rate from the source document to the target document.

Display Notification Message

Defaults to "Display All Messages". When posting an O/E or P/O Transaction, Inter-Entity will display a message if the transactions in the Target entities are created successfully and if there are any errors. You can view details in the OE/ PO Trade Inquiry Audit.

Select "Display Errors Only" if you don't need to be notified when a transaction is created in the Target entity.

Select "Display No Message" if you don't want to be notified when a transaction is created or an error occurs.

Use the "Display no Message" trade option if you create transactions through third-party applications outside of the Sage 300 screens. Such processes can't respond to the notification messages, and may appear to hang if the messages remain open. If using this notification method, make sure that you review the OE/PO Trade Inquiry Audit Logs even more regularly.
