Customizing the SDT Segment

The SDT segment (Supplier Details) contains details about the supplier. In this tutorial, the supplier is your company, MWT Manufacturing Co.

The SDT SIDN SID0 element (Supplier’s ANA Location Code) contains the code assigned by the Article Numbering Association for the supplier’s location. Your trading partner will send you this code, but you do not need the code to be printed on the printout. Therefore, you will hide this field.

The SDT SNAM element (Supplier’s Name) contains the name of the supplier (in this tutorial, you are the supplier). Your trading partner will send you this name, but you do not need the name to be printed on the printout. (All purchase orders you receive from customers should have your company designated as the supplier.) Therefore, you will hide this field.
