VC_ALI_C - Configuration for Alternative Location Identifiers

BAL Application Log Documentation   PERFORM Short Reference  
This documentation is copyright by SAP AG.

In this Customizing activity, you can configure alternative location identifiers. You can configure the following:

• Define location scheme agencies

These settings are optional. Any agencies that you define here must represent organizations that maintain standardized identification schemes for locations if the corresponding alternative location identifier types are to be used for inbound or outbound messaging. For more information, see the 'Requirements' section.

• Define alternative location identifier types (ALI types)

ALI types distinguish between several identification schemes that can be used to identify locations and can therefore be used to assign alternative location identifiers to locations.

• Define code lists for specific ALI types

For each ALI type, you can create a code list. Code lists are useful for project-specific identification schemes or if you intend to restrict the identifiers to a subset of a standardized identification scheme.

If you define a code list, you have to select the identifiers that refer to the ALI type from the code list. If you do not define a code list, you can freely choose the identifiers.

If you intend to assign alternative location identifiers that refer to standardized identification schemes, you must define the location scheme agency IDs in this Customizing activity under Define Location Scheme Agencies.

You define an agency by specifying a 3-digit code and a description. If you want to use the schema agency ID for inbound or outbound messaging, the 3-digit code must correspond to an entry as defined by United Nations EDIFACT data element 3055 (DE 3055). Alternatively, you can define your own alphanumerical scheme agency ID.

• To define ALI types, you must carry out the following activities:

1. Under Define Types of Alternative Location Identifiers, enter a 6-digit alphanumerical code and a description.
2. Assign a location scheme agency ID (optional step).

Note that if you want to refer to location scheme agency IDs, you must have defined these first. For more information, see the 'Requirements 'section.

1. Assign a number to the ALI type (optional step).
2. Save your entries.

The system displays the ALI type in the location master on the Alt. Identifierstab page.

• To define code lists for specific ALI Types, you must carry out the following activities:

1. Under Define Types of Alternative Location Identifiers, select the row of the ALI type for which you want to define a code list.
2. In the navigation area on the left side, double-click the activity Define Code Lists for Specific ALI Types.
3. Enter the identifiers that you want to use with the ALI type.
4. Enter a description for the identifiers.
5. Save your entries.

The system accepts these identifiers in combination with the chosen ALI type, when you enter them in the location master on the Alt. Identifierstab page. In addition, you can select the identifiers from the code list when using search help.
