Description
The Electronic Data Interchange module is an application-to-application exchange of inter-company business data in structured, standard formats. MAC-PAC supports the following transaction messages:
|
Inbound Sales Orders
|
ANSI transaction #850
|
|
Inbound Shipments
|
ANSI transaction #856
|
|
Inbound Purchase Order Acknowledgments
|
ANSI transaction #855
|
|
Outbound Purchase Orders
|
ANSI transaction #850
|
|

Most transaction messages can be sent and received both asynchronously (in real time) and in batches. Error correction programs allow you to correct application data errors for inbound transactions. Both EDIFACT and ANSI X12 transaction standards can be used for all transactions. MAC-PAC's EDI functions have been developed to allow you the most flexibility in performing data translation and data transmissions/receipts. In addition, MAC-PAC can communicate with a wide variety of translation software products and value added networks (VANs).
