Hi GTS Support Group,
I am reaching out for some help on GTS’s communication framework.
The result I am targeting is to set-up EDI communication to a broker where I can:
- Use the vendor number from the ERP feeder system, not the BP number
- Have each FTO communicate through a different outbound port (WE21). In ERP we set-up ports by company code and wanting to do similar in GTS with FTO’s
- Use the message code and function fields.
Currently we have one legal regulation representing two FTO’s for a country. There are two company codes in the feeder and they map directly to the FTO’s
I am very familiar with setting up the output conditions (like VV21) in SD, but could use some guidance/reality on how or if this can be done in GTS.
Issues we are running into with current set-up:
- Have to use the BP number and the customs office fields under the geography tab to identify the partner to communicate to
- Cannot determine how to establish a relationship between the FTO and the output
- When the message code is populated the output fails and says it cannot find a partner
What we have observed, but not sure fact yet
- The organizational structure for GTS’s communication is the legal regulation. This means that EDI would be done by this and here is no link between an FTO
- For an import declaration, the Office Of Destination is the trigger for EDI communication and for export declarations it’s the Office Of Departure. This means we have to use these field and the BP number and cannot use the Vendor Master number
Any guidance would be much appreciated.
