Quick question on ALE model

[Former Member]

I have a question regarding the ALE model setup. I have created a connection from ECC to GTS  (BD64) do I also need to make an ALE connection from GTS to ECC?

What data would be passed back to ECC from GTS using this model?

The reason why I ask is we have always had this connection but our basis guys are saying it is not necessary and I am not sure how to test that.

Hi Chris,

The most usual data to be sent back to the feeder system is the feed of Classification data.  After classifying Products in GTS, you can feed back the codes and assignments to the ERP system.  In Europe, that aids the production of the "Intrastat" report of goods transferred from country to country within the EU, and in other areas might be used for the production of the "Export Invoice" or other such documentation.

For most purposes, however, you don't need any path from GTS to the feeder systems.

Hope that helps.

Regards,

Dave
