15.1 Setting Up Trading Partner Master

The Trading Partner Master program (P4780) is a central repository for trading partner information. No other JD Edwards World programs currently use any of this information; however, the system can use the fields in the Trading Partner Master table (F4780) as substitute values for variables in e-mail templates that the system creates for the e-mail error notifications.

You can either manually enter the Trading Partner ID or have the system assign it using Next Numbers. You must manually enter the Trading Partner Name and the program does not require the Address Number. The system enters values from the Customer Master table into the DUNS Number field.

When you enter a value in the:

• Master Agreement URL field, the system prefaces it with http://.

• Contact E-mail field, the system prefaces it with mail to.

When you double click:

• The master agreement URL, a browser window displays with the specific URL.

• The contact e-mail address, your e-mail software opens.
