processSupplier

The processSupplier web service operation is an inbound transaction operation that enables consumers to process supplier information within the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system. The processSupplier web service operation enables source systems to process supplier information in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne in a real-time fashion. The web service uses JD Edwards EnterpriseOne master business functions to process the supplier information to add, change or delete supplier related records.

The consumer can complete these tasks in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Address Book, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Accounts Payable, and JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Accounts Receivable systems:

• Add, change or delete supplier records.

• Add, change or delete address book records.

• Add, change or delete phone number records.

• Add, change or delete electronic address records.

After processing supplier information, the processSupplier web service operation calls the processAddressBook web service operation to process the address book record. If the operation encounters no errors then the processAddressBook web service operation calls the processPhones and processElectronicAddresses web service operations. The AddressBookProcessor web service operation will return either success messages or error messages if the transaction failed.

If AddressBookProcessor returns success, the processSupplier operation calls the SupplierMaster business function (N0100043) to process the supplier records regardless of the success or failure of the phone and electronic address processing.

Note: The processSupplier operation processes address book information and supplier records even if the processPhones and processElectronicAddresses web service operations fail. If the system encounters errors while processing the address book or supplier record information the system rolls back all transactions.

Every change in the supplier address book is a net change. If a null is passed in a variable field the system will check to see if that field has a value in the database. If the field does have a value in the database then the system will not overwrite the field with the null.
