The General tab contains the Trading Partner address type and address as well as other general information including the Partner Type, Macro Value, and three custom fields. All fields are optional. The Macro Value is used with the %tp keyword referenced in HTTP hosts. The Change… button allows the user to change the alias of the Trading Partner to another non-existent alias. The Edit Types… button after the Address Type field allows the user to configure user-defined address types (see Edit Address Types). The Edit Types… button after the Partner Type field allows the user to configure user-defined partner types (see Edit Partner Types).
The Edit Label… buttons allow the user to label the three custom data fields. These three fields can be used to store information such as a division name or the file transfer product being used by the trading partner.
