POO850 EDI question - EDI Location
I need clarification with: EDI Location field on Location screen.
When EDI creates PO out 850 file, the, file contains positions for :
LocationName
Description
EDI Location (this field is located in "Locations" -> "Other Details" Tab) + other values....
We can setup code conversion for translating some of internal values to external values so that POO 850 file will have this data. For example, I can use Location Name to translate to a number recognized by external system in the file, this is done by code conversion in EDI setup.
My questions is can "EDI Location" field could possibly used for same purpose ? Meaning, I could enter a number and this will also appear in the POO 850 file and external system can read this value instead of doing code conversion (the value will be populaated in external position, which is different from EDI Location position on the same file line).
