We are setting up and using the EDI function in IFS.  We have a request to add the customer’s company name to the outbound file.  Is there a way to do this without custom modification?  Or perhaps I am missing something and the data already exists?  Thanks,

Mark

Hi @svrmhuebner 

It looks like the spec (/ifsdoc/documentation/en/General/AboutEDIMessages.htm?StandAlone=true#ORDRSP) doesn’t seem to include the name, just the customer_no. The only way we found to include custom data was to build the XML file from scratch and use custom code to output it, involving hundreds of lines of code.

Unless anyone else has any suggestions, I would strongly suggest that you avoid this unless it is absolutely critical.

 

 


Ouch, not the answer I wanted to hear :)

As GPIE mentions, does anyone else know of a way to accomplish this without a major redo of the file?

Thanks!
