EDI Sales Order Creation

The EDI Sales Order Generation program (ED140E) receives sales order transactions (ANSI #850) previously translated by an external EDI translation package.

Creating Sales Orders Asynchronously

1.   Initiate the EDI Sales Order Generation Monitor.

2.   Receive EDI sales order transaction data (previously translated by an external software translation package) from outside locations.

The following key fields are received through the EDI interface:

·    Customer PO Number

·    Customer Number

·    Customer PO Type

·    Company/Warehouse

·    Direct Distribution Information

·    Drop Shipment Flag

·    Line Number

·    Part Number

·    Quantity Ordered

·    Unit of Measure

·    Requested Ship Date

·    Review/Expiration Date

Note:    Direct Distribution Information:  Several fields are included to identify the direct distribution customer:  DD Customer Name, DD Customer Address, DD Country, DD Language Code, DD PO Number, and DD EDI Network ID.  These fields are not required if your site does not function as a remote site shipping items directly to an end customer (bypassing the transaction customer who actually ordered the goods from you) or if the transaction was not identified as a drop shipment.

3.   Review the Control reports (ED140A, ED140B) created by the monitor along with the Exception report (ED520A) created by the batch job EDI Sales Order Exception Reporting to be submitted from the pending EDI jobs.

4.   Resolve transaction errors using the EDI Sales Order Exception Resolution conversation.  For specific procedures, see Resolve Exception Transactions.

5.   Change sales order information, if necessary, using the Sales Order Maintenance conversation.

6.   Request, print, and review reports.
