XML/Documents
In this box you configure settings for XML files and supplier-specific documents.
Attach XML file
By using the button 
you select which XML files will be attached to e-mail messages for the corresponding documents sent to the supplier via e-mail. The documents that are available as XML files are: Purchase order, Delivery schedule
Silf (the Swedish association for purchase and logistics) explain the term "delivery plan" in the following way:
A delivery schedule is a plan/schedule for deliveries from supplier to customer. The delivery schedule is created by customer and generally contains a planning horizon of 0,5–1 year. Normally the delivery schedule quantities are assigned different statuses depending on the type of demand. It is common that for example the entered quantities in the immediate future (closest in time) actually are fixed orders. In an interval of a few months ahead of the fixed orders, the entered quantities might be considered as preliminary orders for which the customer is obliged to take financial responsibility for any material purchased by the supplier. The subsequent quantities entered are considered to be forecast only. (Translated from source https://www.silf.se/tjanster/ordlista-for-inkop-och-logistik/l/ [2018-08-29]).
A delivery schedule is a way to increase the transparency and thereby make it possible to mutually take charge of the financial situation across multiple steps in the supply chain. This is done by transferring information regarding the immediate demands/requirements as well as future forecast demands. (only purchase suggestion), Deliver schedule (complete), Case, Shipment advice,.
It is possible to update which XML files should be attached for many suppliers at a time. This is done in the Supplier list procedure by using the Standard list type and the Miscellaneous presentation.
If you have activated the system setting called Attach XML file by default for new suppliers, all the XML files options will be marked for a new supplier.
With the Use G4 style for text rows checkbox you decide whether or not text rows should be divided into multiple rows containing a maximum of 80 characters in the M2M XML file for purchase orders. This setting is useful if your supplier uses Monitor G4 since G4 has a limit for number of characters displayed on text rows.
Supplier-specific documents
The button determines if a specific variant of different documents should be sent to the supplier. Variants of different documents are created in the Document templates procedure. If you do not make any selections here, then the default document variants in the procedure in question will be used.
