After you have defined the code(s) of the SAP interface(s) on A.70.01 Interfaces, you must save the "Interface Settings" on this screen in addition to each interface. This is various data, which, for example, will be evaluated by a specific interface.
The use of this screen is not restricted to the SAP interface. It is usable for all Smart Materials interfaces if "Interface Settings" are necessary for the respective interface.
Field Descriptions
Interfaces Block - Select the interface to which interface settings will be defined.
Interface - The interface that was defined on screen A.70.01 is selected via LOV. The Description and Short Desc fields contain additional information.
Interface Settings Block - Define the interface setting variables that are dependent on the interface, which can save specific additional information to an interface.
Setting - Name of the interface setting variable.
Value - Value of the interface setting variable.
Type - Type of the interface setting variable. Types "CHAR", "NUMBER", and "DATE" are available. Now, only type "CHAR" will be used.
Description and Short Desc - Language-dependent description of the interface setting variables.
