Business Benefits

With some Products, you may have multiple references, one used (e.g.,) by the Client, another by the Customer. For example, the Customer may normally refer to Disks but the Client records them as Diskettes. In these cases, it may be necessary to define the AKA (Also Known As). This program allows you to set up as many AKAs as you need to satisfy this situation.

Note: For related documentation and workflows, see CR - Client Related.

Usage

Use this job to set up AKA (Also Known As) definitions for selected Products.

Preconditions

Consignee codes must have been set up in program CR.26 [Customer (Ship-To) Addresses].

Client codes must be created in program CR.06 [Client Names and Addresses] and CR.18 [Client Arrangements].

Product codes are defined in program CR.62 [Client's Inventory Products].

Subsequent Actions

The AKA definition is used in the Electronic Data Interchange (ED) system for incoming transactions. If the Trading Partner uses an unknown Product code, the system checks the AKA definitions. Only if there is no suitable AKA will the system reject the transaction because of an invalid Product code.

It is also used in Field 41 of program OE.01 [Enter Orders (Shipping)].
