Setting Up ASN Hierarchies

Access the Hierarchical Configuration Definition Revisions form.

Hierarchical Configuration

Enter the hierarchy configuration codes for the EDI 856 transaction set. that specify the levels that are present in the ship notice/manifest. This field is made up of a combination of two-character Hierarchical Level Codes (HLCs) (values from the X12 specification for data element 735 Hierarchical Level Code). Up to nine combinations of HLCs can be in this field.

Hierarchical Structure Code

Enter a code that indicates the hierarchical application structure of an EDI transaction set that uses the HL segment to define the structure of the transaction set.

Extended ASN (extended advance ship notice)

Enter a code that specifies whether the system sets up the address book number to create an extended ASN. If the Extended ASN option is on, the system populates these tables:

F470372

F470373

F470374

F470375

Level

Enter a number that the system uses to organize the table into a logical group for online viewing and reporting.

Field Name

Enter the data dictionary item name. Examples include F#MMCO or F#CO for company, F#MMCU or F#MCU for business unit, and F#RP01-30 for business unit category codes 01 through 30.

Special characters are not allowed as part of the data item name, except #, @, and $.

To create protected data names that software updates does not overwrite, use $xxx and @xxx, where xxx is user-defined.

Ascending Descending

Enter a code to designate sorting sequence as ascending or descending. Values are:

A: Ascending

D: Descending

This code is for use within the OPNQRYF command to designate the UNIQUEKEY parameter. The number of key sequence fields that is specified with these codes represents the number that is assigned to the UNIQUEKEY parameter. This parameter eliminates duplicate records for these keys:

U: Ascending

V: Descending

Total Level

Enter a level break, not to be confused with Account Master or Business Unit Master level-of-detail concept. You can specify the level of totaling to place on this field. Up to 9 levels of totals are permissible. If levels of totals are not specified in an order that is consistent with the sequence parameters, unpredictable results may occur.
