Outbound Sales Document Header Table

List of Fields in the Table

The program uses the outbound sales document header to store sales document header information, which is used in sales documents that you sent electronically to various business partners. This header information is used in BizTalk sales order confirmations, BizTalk sales invoices, BizTalk shipment notifications, BizTalk sales quotes and BizTalk sales credit memos.

Thus, the outbound sales document header is a read-only viewer where you can send and view general data on outbound BizTalk sales documents. The outbound sales documents that are stored here are either unsent, sent or processing.

A sales document is outbound if it is sent from you to one of your business partners.

The outbound sales header contains all the relevant information about the sell-to and bill-to customers, such as name, address, document number and date. It has four tabs: General, Invoicing, Shipping and BizTalk. These tabs contain information about the sell-to customer, bill-to customer, shipments and relevant BizTalk details. The program retrieves most of this information automatically from the Customer table.

The outbound sales document header is related to a number of lines in the Outbound Sales Document Line table containing information (such as item number, quantity and price) about the items you have on inventory. Amounts on the outbound sales document lines are in the source currency unless the field name indicates that the amount is in dollars. The source currency is the currency represented by the currency code on the outbound sales document header.

When sending and subsequently converting a Navision sales document into a BizTalk sales document, information that is contained in the Navision Sales Header table is stored in the outbound sales document header. Information that is contained in the Navision Sales Line table is stored in the Outbound Sales Document Line table. The outbound sales document header and the outbound sales document lines are related to each other in the same way as Navision sales header and sales lines are related.

Note

The outbound sales document header is read-only. This means that it is not possible to change or enter anything in the outbound sales document header. If you need to make any changes to this table, you must make them before the Navision sales documents are transformed into BizTalk sales documents.

This is also why there is no Help for most of the fields in the Outbound Sales Document Header table. If you need Help or information about any of the fields in this table without Help, see the Help for the corresponding field in the Sales Header table.
