ALKY in Procurement and Sales

Purpose of Document

This note is to explain how ALKY is handled in EnterpriseOne Sales and Procurement.

Across Sales and Procurement product family, form control 'ALKY - AlternateAddressKey, Long Address Number' are implemented for easier search of Customer, Ship To, or Supplier search. This note is to answer, or possibly provide help with debugging issues specific to this form control ALKY. Since this control is a string (or character array), data dictionary item both String and Math Numeric data type can be stored.

Note that this document may not guide you to the best practice in your population of ALPH (NameAlpha, Name - Alpha), ALKY (AlternateAddressKey - Long Address Number), ALP1 (Kanjialpha, Secondary Alpha Name) and DC (DescriptionCompressed, Description -Compressed) in F0101 (Address Book Master File). Rather this document focuses on how to get data based on as-is value

• ALKY - AlternateAddressKey (Long Address Number)
• Data Type: 2 - String
• Class: ALKYG
• Size: 20
• Upper Case Only
• Glossary: A user-defined name or number that identifies an address book record. You can use this number to locate and enter information about the address book record. If you enter a value other than the address book number (AN8), such as the long address or tax ID, you must precede it with the special character that is defined in the Address Book constants. When the system locates the record, it returns the address book number to the field. For example, if address book number 4100 (Total Solutions) has a long address TOTAL and an * distinguishes it from other entries (as defined in the Address Book constants), you could type *TOTAL into the field, and the system would return 4100.

Currently there are two different business functions to scrub user input value and return valid customer/supplier information:

• B0100016 - ScrubAddressNumber (F0101 Edit Address Number): Across EnterpriseOne this function can be called however when cInputSelection is 5 to make use of N0100061, which can be used heavily in Sales and Procurement
• N0100061 - ScrubAddressNumberNER (Scrub Address Number): this client-only NER is created to call P0101SL (Address Book Long Search) in HTML client by serializing NER code
