Interface with Order Processing

In general, valid EDC transactions are processed automatically by the relevant application module; no special steps are required for transactions that were captured electronically rather than entered online.  The only exception to this rule is for Order Processing transactions.  The following steps must be performed for Order Processing transactions:

1.   Scan and upload the transactions as for any other transaction type. 

2.   If any transactions are invalid, correct them and resubmit them for posting.  This step is the same for all types of transactions.

3.   Use the Electronic Data Collection Shipping and Billing Confirmation screen within Order Processing to confirm the shipment. 

On the Order Processing screen, you enter:

·     Whether the transaction is cash or invoice

·     The invoice release code

·     The freight amount (optional)

4.   Once the information has been entered and validated, MAC-PAC automatically updates the inventory, sales order, customer, and open item files for the EDC transaction.
