(BILL of LADING)
The Challenge: My trading partner requires me to put the Bill of Lading in positions 60 thru 128 of the segment 711 of the VDA 4913 document.
The Analysis: The main challenge is how to bring out the Bill of Lading Number from the details of the transaction and link it to the envelop (711). Each Mailbox will have one Bill of Lading.
The Solution: 1)Make sure that there will be one envelop per mailbox. 2)When the Mailbox is created, there will be a Mapping Instruction Exit that will store the Mailbox and its corresponding Bill of Lading to a reference file. 3)As soon as it prepared to be sent to the trading partner, a Post Communication Exit Program will insert the Bill of Lading number store in #2.
