DSW - General Settings

This section describes in general, the requirement in setting up DSW. You are required to go through these settings before you execute the application.

Activate VSS-DSW

Before implementing DSW, you need to enable the DSW activation flag. This flag will indicate if the DSW application is active or not in a particular VSS project implementation. This flag will also be the validation point to determine whether the business objects for example business partner, vehicle or sales order should be sent to or received from DSW.

Maintaining the DSW activation flag can be found in the following path: Customizing for Logistics Execution, choose Vehicle Sales and Service (VSS) > Vehicle Sales > Integration with VSS Order > Digital Sales Workplace (DSW) > Activate VSS-DSW. 

Activate Business Partner Integration

If you want to restrict the business partner integration to DSW, you can activate the BP integration to DSW for a certain (Company Code, Sales Organization, Distribution Channel or Division).

Make sure to set the business partner integration criteria in Customizing for Logistics Execution, choose Vehicle Sales and Service (VSS) > Vehicle Sales > Integration with VSS Order > Digital Sales Workplace (DSW) > Customer BP Integration. In this customizing, the system allows to insert empty values.

Default BP Grouping for Customer Creation from DSW

Maintaining the default BP grouping can be found in the following path: Customizing for Logistics Execution, choose Vehicle Sales and Service (VSS) > Vehicle Sales > Integration with VSS Order > Digital Sales Workplace (DSW) > Default BP Grouping for Customer Creation from DSW.

Activate Vehicle Integration

In Customizing for Logistics Execution, choose Vehicle Sales and Service (VSS) > Vehicle Sales > Integration with VSS Order > Digital Sales Workplace (DSW) > Vehicle integration. You can restrict the vehicle integration to DSW for a certain (Company Code, Vehicle Business Transaction Type, Division or Make) and the system allows to insert empty values.
