Demand Side and Supply Side Inbound Transaction Steps

The process for demand and supply side inbound transactions is:

  1. Set up your customer or vendor so that the inbound transactions are automatically posted. Set Auto-Post on the EDI Customer Profiles form or the EDI Vendor Profiles form to Inbound or Both).

    The system validates the transactions and then uses the validated transactions to create the customer order or purchase order acknowledgement.

  2. If you do not set Auto-Post to Inbound or Both, you must post these transactions manually, using the EDI Customer Orders form or the EDI Purchase Order Acknowledgements form. You can edit the information on the EDI order before posting.
  3. During posting, if the EDI Customer Profile is set up to generate acknowledgments, a copy of each order is placed in the EDI database tables. It can later send the order copies as acknowledgments.
