EDI Flat File Conversion - EDI Batch number missing

Hello,

I am trying to understand how to upload and generate AP vouchers in E1 using the flat file conversion program, R47002C. I have the flat file formatted correctly and I can get as far as actually creating the voucher and posting to the gl. However, one question I have is when does the EDI batch number (EDBT) get assigned? Currently, I am perpopulating this field for testing.

R47002C calls B4700240 to do the insert into the z-tables. I see the next number for EDI batches but am having some difficulty understanding how to use it and populate the field when the file is being converted.

??? - I hope that makes sense.

You can prepopulate the EDI Batch number when you load the transaction. You can use a sequencial number / Date like 20080624 also as a batch number. Ensure that for your each transaction your EDI Transaction ID/ EDI Batch Number / EDI User id is unique.

Can you help me with the flat file you used to upload using R47002C (email : [email protected])
