Using Partner Tables 0
Overview
Introduction The translation process allows you to set up tables to use information in the
Partner database when a document is entered into the system, either from a file or
from the Document Editor facility.
Table use The Partner Editor allows you to use an internal system partner (Internal System
User) to define your company to the system. Tables may be set up to be used
either with a trading partner or with the special system partner.
◗ Tables that you establish under a specific partner are valid only for that
partner.
◗ Tables that you set up under the internal system user can be used globally.
Using tables The use of partner or system partner tables is defined in the translation objects at
design time. This allows commonly used items such as names and addresses to be
inserted into the outbound data without the need to type it. It also allows you to
use Lookup and Cross-reference tables to supplement or convert data that you
either enter or receive.
You can create cross-reference and lookup tables in Gentran:Server, or you can
import and export existing tables to and from your system.
Notes
◗ You can only import and export Gentran:Server partner tables.
◗ Tables are used only if you create a translation object that specifically
accesses those tables.
