XmlSystem Data Type Map

This setting identifies the primary system record supported by the group. The record referenced is a key XML System Data Type Map record for the Interface matching the group name within XML System Setup. This setting assists in determining the default Payment Codes to apply to items imported into Payment Management.

Inactivate Van Line Service Code to Item Code Mappings

This flag is used in conjunction with creating the Item Code mappings for the particular Van Line Group. By default, this flag is set for all Van Line Group records except the “Generic Service Codes (Old Mappings)” or “generic” group. If you wish to create additional mappings for a non-generic group, you can check this flag for the non-generic group, create the mappings (either manually or through the mass copy or import options available through Item Code Setup) and when you are ready to go live with the non-generic codes, uncheck this flag and begin importing records with the new mappings.

This flag works in conjunction with the following functions:

Add Van Line Service Code to Item Code Mapping

Import Van Line Service Code to Item Code Mappings

Mass Copy Van Line Group Service Code to Item Code Mappings
