Ponton X/P 2.3 ? Installation and Configuration Guide

Quick-Starting the Software
Configuration → Partners → Local Partners and selecting a partner name from the
drop down menu at the top of the page. The configuration settings are distributed on
different tabs: Identification, Communication, etc.
Identification settings
On the Identification tab, you can edit the different IDs used to refer to the given
partner (in this case your new local partner):
Partner Display Name – the Display Name is used within Ponton X/P in
menus, selection lists, etc.
Internal Partner ID – the Internal Partner ID is used for communication with
the backend (ERP) system.
PartyID – the PartyID is used for the identification of business partners in the
messaging process. Please note that the different partners have to use correct
PartyIDs in their partner configurations to identify the relevant partners. For
further details see the Define remote partners section below.
Note: By default, the Partner Display Name, the Internal Partner ID and the PartyID
are all preset to the same value as the Local ID used when a new partner is created.
On the Identification tab you can modify these settings as required.
The default PartyID Type is PontonCertificate (issued by the Ponton Certificate
Authority). Other Party ID types can also be used, for example EIC, Duns Number, GLN
(Global Location Number) or URI. For a single partner you can create multiple Party
IDs by using different Party ID types.
Click Save to confirm your settings for this new partner.
