Product Qualifiers

The purpose of the Product Qualifiers Cross-Reference Setup is to define qualifiers used to identify product information. Generally this information is sent as pairs of information – 2 elements the first of which contains the qualifier and the second containing the description. E.g. *CB*Buyers catalog number*

Note: Product qualifiers are found in the PO1 segment of the inbound 850. On the outbound 810 they are in the IT1 segment and the outbound 856 in the LIN segment.

Note: DTM, REF and Product qualifiers generally have the same purpose. The qualifier is defined so that the system can either use the data on an inbound document or find what needs to be sent on an outbound document.

To setup the Product Qualifiers, select:

EDI Menu > Setup Programs > Cross-Reference Maintenance > Product Qualifiers

Trading Partner:	If the Product Qualifier is a generic ANSI standard, leave this field blank and the Qualifier will apply to all Trading Partners. If a Trading Partner requires a different use for a qualifier, then Enter or Browse and select a Trading Partner, Trading Partner Setup.

Product Qualifier:	Enter the two-character Product Qualifier ID as supplier by the Trading Partner for PO106 or later elements.
