The entry of bale information in text form has also been implemented. Bale information in text form can be created in condition category J3AB for the delivery header and the delivery items (segments E1J3ABH and E1J3ABI). You can import packaging data (segments E1EDL37 and E1EDL44). Standard header texts and item texts can be transferred and processed.

In contrast to purchase order confirmation, existing notifications are not overwritten in delivery notifications. It is not possible to change existing delivery notifications via EDI: it is only possible to create new delivery notifications.

In order to uniquely identify an item/schedule line in a purchase order, you need the following information:

• ALE ID

• Item

• All available material-specific data (for example, grid value, category).

If the ALE ID, item, and schedule line are not completely available, it may not be possible to assign a confirmation to a purchase order/item/schedule line.
