RE: International

On question 1, we do lots of business overseas and we use the language field
for some of our parts. You have to set up languages in STRM400, #9 Admin
Functions, #2 Language Parameters. Then setup a part in Inventory Maint.
F23, you indicate what language you want. Also any F21 or F22 text can be of
another language. When you do AOE, you use the F14 Header and then F16
Add'tl Overrides to indicate language preference for shipping papers and
invoices. The item description will be printed as indicated from Add'tl
Overrides. Also in OE Customer Maint. you can set up a default language for
any customer and all language text for them will print as well as alt.
language item descriptions and text. We use this all the time but I'm sure
actually all of the details. If your interested in all the details my spare
parts department can probably walk you through some of the needed parameters
and set up tasks.
On question 2, we're still struggling with that field and all of its
nuances.
Hope this helps.

For you companies that are conducting business in other countries, I have a
few questions about the functionality of JBA.
In item maintenance on the second screen, there is an option of function
F23 for Language descriptions, how does this work and where will the
selected language display and print.
In the same option, there is a function F17 for Alternative Item Reference,
where will this print and if I put a customer # in the agency field, will
this print only for that customer.  The manual states that you can put a
customer in this field.
What I want to do is print on the Invoice and Order Ack. the alt language
item description.
