Transaction Review Checkpoints

When processing CID transactions there are several checkpoints where you can review transaction data before continuing with the next processing step.  Using the checkpoints is optional¾you can set up the system so that your transactions are stopped at each step, at no step, or a combination of the checkpoint options.

·     Customer transactions.  An EDI Hold option allows you to automatically place incoming sales orders on hold.  The EDI hold is defined at the customer level and, if yes, will place all orders placed by that customer on hold.  The hold can be overridden upon transaction approval.

·     Vendor transactions.  You can specify the Shipping Confirmation flag (specified on the Vendor Master file) to be 'N' which requires that all incoming direct distribution shipment transactions received from that vendor be formally received through the Shipping/Billing Confirmation conversation.

·     Monitors.  You can use the system monitors to control when transactions are processed.  If the monitors are active, the transactions will be processed immediately; if the monitors are inactive the transactions must wait until the monitors become activated or must be submitted as a batch job.  This allows you to review pending inbound transactions before initiating the monitors and proceeding with normal processing.
