Transaction Overview
Transaction Overview
The Electronic Data Interchange module is an application-to-application exchange of inter-company business data in structured, standard formats. MAC-PAC's EDI application supports several types of transactions, allowing users to tailor the basic application areas to more closely meet their unique requirements. The transactions supported by EDI include:
|
|
ANSI Transaction Equivalent
|
|
Outbound Purchase Orders
|
ANSI transaction #850
|
|
Inbound Sales Orders
|
ANSI transaction #850
|
|
Outbound Sales Order Acknowledgments
|
ANSI transaction #855
|
|
Inbound Purchase Order Acknowledgments
|
ANSI transaction #855
|
|
Outbound Shipments/BOLs
|
ANSI transaction #856
|
|
Inbound Receipts
|
ANSI transaction #856
|
|
Outbound Invoices
|
ANSI transaction #810
|
The figure below shows the MAC-PAC transactions that can be transmitted via EDI. For more detailed information about each EDI transaction, see the EDI Transactions Overview key concept. These transactions can be used in Computer Integrated Distribution (CID) environments and vary slightly depending on whether they are executed at a sales offices, remote sight, or customer location. However, each transaction is just as effective outside a CID environment. For more specific information on CID processing, refer to the CID Overview key concept in the Order Processing or Purchasing User Manuals.
CID Transaction Scenario
Transactions 1-8 can be transmitted via EDI.
The following table describes each of the transactions shown above along with its associated EDI Transaction file. The files associated with each transaction must be populated in order to transmit the transaction via EDI.
