Important Monitors

There are several MAC-PAC transaction monitors that affect electronic data interchange transactions.  If these monitors are not active, your transactions will not be processed in a continuous flow.

·    Immediate Invoice, BOL, and SO Acknowledgment Print (OP540E, OP690E, OP520E)  These monitors are important if you need to generate documents immediately in order to speed up the information flow.

·    EDI Sales Order Generation (ED140E)  This monitor generates inbound sales orders asynchronously.  It uses the EDI Sales Order Transaction files to validate and create sales orders and print reports.  It also calls the Automatic Order Release program (OP630E) to perform credit checking and reserve inventory.

·    EDI Purchase Order Acknowledgment Update (ED100E)  This monitor is used to process inbound order acknowledgments.  It uses the EDI Purchase Order Acknowledgment Transaction files to validate acknowledgments, calculate variances, update purchase order and associated sales order information, and print reports.

·    EDI Purchase Order Receipts (ED120E)  This monitor generates purchase order receipts.  It uses the EDI Purchase Order Receipt Transaction files to validate and create purchase order receipts.  It also calculates variances, updates the related purchase orders, and prints reports.

·    Electronic Data Collection (BC200E)  This monitor triggers Order Processing shipment processing as part of inbound receipts when the purchase order line being received against is associated with a specific sales order line.  It also allows the Shipping/Billing monitor (OP125E) to process shipments as part of inbound receipts.
