Functionality includes Ping, Item Availability, Order Submit, Order Status and Product Search. Supplier Locations Motion provides the supplier a table of Location Numbers from the Motion system for use when returning Item Availability information to the Motion System. By design, the Motion system references the Motion Location Number (located in the Order Submit Send transaction in the Header Section) when sending orders to the Supplier System via the MI Supplier Connect Interface. The Supplier Location Numbers are then loaded, left-justified, into the existing SUPPLIER_LOCATION fields in the Item Availability Reply transaction that Motion receives from the supplier’s system.
