Sites and Enterprise Material Transfer (EMT)
If you are using Enterprise Material Transfer (EMT), you must set up sites to support processing of EMT sales orders. EMT lets you automatically translate sales orders into purchase orders and transmit them to suppliers in electronic data interchange (EDI) format using EDI eCommerce. EMT also manages and coordinates changes so that sales order and purchase order information is synchronized.
Multi-level EMT manages orders across multiple levels within an organization. Order changes can be made at the top or bottom of the hierarchy and are then transmitted up or down to the next level.
Two fields in Site Maintenance are directly related to EMT:
• Use the Default Supplier field to associate a default supplier with each ordering site.
• If you are using direct allocations, set External Supplier to Yes.
See
QAD Sales User Guide for details on EMT.
