EDI Transactions within MAC-PAC
The MAC-PAC transaction files are the initial link in the EDI process. These files contain all the data necessary for the translation software to translate to the EDI standard format. There are currently seven transactions that MAC-PAC can send to trading partners via EDI. These transactions are:
· Outbound Purchase Orders
· Inbound Sales Orders
· Outbound Order Acknowledgments
· Inbound Order Acknowledgments
· Outbound Shipments/BOLs
· Inbound Receipts
· Outbound Invoices
An example of how these transactions can be processed to form an entire EDI conversation is shown below.
