In the Identification method field, choose how you want to identify this party in electronic messages. You can only choose one option. The unique code displayed to the right of your chosen option will be used to identify the company in incoming and outgoing messages.
If you choose identification via SCSN, you are required to enter the SCSN code here. The SCSN code is a code that a company uses to identify itself in communications in the supply chain.
If you choose Company register number or VAT/SIR number, the relevant number must be filled in. You cannot change the values on the Supply Chain Integration tab, however, because they are official numbers that must be correct. They can be changed only on the Financial tab by persons who have the appropriate rights. If you cannot enter a number here, you need to choose a different identification method.
A GLN (Global Location Number) is a globally unique identification number that any company can request from the GS1 organization.
Own company identification method
Choose the unique code you want to use to identify your own company in electronic communications with this party. Typically, your business contact will have specified the method they are using, and you modify your data to suit that method. To change the code or the number for your own registration, you need to change the registration settings for your own company ('99999' in the Customers or Suppliers module).
Note: If you register your own data in the business contact's settings in the Customers module, then you are the supplier for this company. This means you need to change your own data for supplier '99999'. Conversely, for your business contacts in the Suppliers module, you are their customer, which means that in this case, your own data originate from the Customers module.
Remark
Because not all companies use all methods, it is important that the identification method setting is always used in your communications with this party. This means it will also be used if your own registration has an alternative debtor or creditor with a different identification method.
Example
Suppliers Module
Name: Peters Inc
Name: 99999 Own company
Identification method: SCSN code
Own company identification code: Company register number
Let us assume that in this scenario, '99999 Own company' has a debtor called '99997 Own company's debtor', and that the identification method 'GLN' was specified on this debtor's Supply Chain Integration tab. When you send electronic messages to this supplier, Isah will put the company register number of '99997 Own company's debtor' in the message, rather than the GLN, because the supplier specified that they use company register numbers. If the debtor does not have the requested information, a message will appear, allowing you to enter the missing number.
The Transformation script field is used for Supply Chain Integration, and can be used to include a script for modifying electronic messages. The script can be used to change messages you receive and/or for messages you send.
Transformation script - Sending
To use a script to make automatic changes before sending an electronic purchase order, specify a transformation script in this field. When you send the purchase order, the script will start and change the contents of the message. The script output will be used as the electronic message you are sending.
Transformation script - Receiving
In this field, enter the script you want to start when importing an electronic order confirmation or purchase invoice in order to modify the message before importing it. Before Isah can start a customer-specific script when importing an order confirmation, it must first identify the supplier in the confirmation message you have received. This means that if you want to start a script when you receive a message, you first need to specify a general script that will identify the supplier. Go to the basic settings for documents, navigate to Electronic communication, and specify a script in the Script for determining sender ID field.
If the supplier identification script has been specified, then, when importing the order confirmation, Isah will start the script you have entered in the Transformation script field for the relevant supplier.
Example of transformation scripts
'Supplier: Transform outgoing purchase order
function TransformPurchaseOrder(PurDocCode, VendId, SCSNPurOrder)
[script]
TransformPurchaseOrder = [this is the new message content]
end function
'Supplier: Transform incoming purchase order confirmation
function TransformPurchaseOrderToSCSN(VendId, Message)
[script]
TransformPurchaseOrderToSCSN = [this is the new SCSN message content]
end function
'Supplier: Transform incoming purchase invoice
function TransformPurchaseInvoiceToSCSN(VendId, Message)
[script]
TransformPurchaseInvoiceToSCSN = [this is the new SCSN message content]
Enter the address that Isah is to send a notification to when an electronic message is available for the company. Isah uses this email address only if the company you are sending electronic messages to does not have a web interface for Supply Chain Integration. If the company does not have a web interface for Supply Chain Integration, Isah will make electronic messages available in your own interface, and the recipient will be notified at the email address entered here that he can retrieve your messages.
Note: For customer '99999' and supplier '99999', enter the email address to be used as your sender's address for outgoing messages. This address will be filled in automatically as the sender's address in all emails that are sent as notifications. Whether Isah uses the address of customer '99999' or supplier '99999' depends on whether you are the customer or supplier in the outgoing message.
Document delivery method
The delivery method determines how the document is to be sent and to whom, for example directly via an SCSN interface or as an attachment to an email sent to a number of contacts. Use to specify that the default value is to be used for the document.
Company register number, VAT number
to specify that the default value is to be used for the document.
