The Post Office options tab contains a checkbox that allows you to enable the Fixed Post Office. If you check the Use One GET Post Office per Standard checkbox to disable all Get post office functionality in Partner Manager and the XML Autoload, and in its place use 3 Get post offices, one for each standard. This will simplify usage by eliminating the need to continually specify where data is received.

If you uncheck this checkbox, the Launcher functionality method is restored and all original Get post offices are re-populated.

When using "One GET Post Office per Standard", the post office nicknames will be "X00" for X12, "E00" for EDIFACT, and "T00" for TRADACOMS, unless you already have a post office nickname with those values. If you already are using these nicknames, the final two numbers will be incremented until a unique value is reached. For example, if you previously have a "X00" and a "X01" post office nickname, the new post office nickname will be "X02".

Note: Close all Partner Manager windows before changing this functionality. In addition, all Message Manager functions must be stopped.
If you select the single Get post office option, the following functionality is affected in Partner Manager:
  • The ability to change, "jump to" or "get info" on a Get post office on all inbound and outbound Trade Links is disabled.
  • Post office maintenance on Get PO's is disabled
  • Get post office entry in the Automatic Acknowledgements windows for X12 and EDIFACT is disabled
  • You cannot delete any Get post offices
  • The Get Post Offices in the Utilities...Field Defaults window is disabled
  • The Get post offices in existing traffic report data are not converted as they represent historical data. You will still be able to select previously used Get post offices as selection criteria in the Reports window.
  • You will not be able to save a Put post office having the same name or nickname as a Get post office that existed before you selected the "Use One GET Post Office per Standard". This is required in order to enable a restore of original Get PO's if the single Get PO option has been enabled, and then subsequently disabled.
  • To maintain database consistency, the merge function is disabled if merging to a database where the value of this setting differs from the source value.
  • In the initial Post Office view, the copy options on the Get PO are disabled.
