RE: EDI mapping question

["Ashworth, Thomas R." <TAshwort@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Assuming that you are using MAPICS Electronic Commerce, ours translate
into Order Special Charge(s).  We have an ongoing 'challenge' with them
because we cannot associate a MAPICS Special Charge Code nor can we
populate the Item Reference, but at least they are associated to the
Customer Order.

FYI - If you chose to follow this method of loading your allowance(s),
be aware that when you invoice the order, the Special Charge is not
controlled by any specific relationship to an individual line item; if
you partially ship the ordered item -or- if you backorder an item
associated to the Special Charge, the Allowance will be reflected IN
FULL on the first invoice produced against the order.  According to
MAPICS, the design of the Special Charge is that it is against the
Order, not an individual Line Item.

For those of you doing EDI...

How do you handle Promotional Allowances.  For example, if a customer
sends
in ANSI X.12 4010 (we actually usually use UCS but the issue exist in
both):

SAC*A*F800******2.00****02***Promotional Allowance

Do you tie it to a contract, price book, etc.?

I don't see anything in MBCDREP or MBDDREP where this kind of
information
could be stored.
