EDI Setup (Supply Side)

Before you can send information using EDI to vendors, you must first set up your supply side EDI parameters and your EDI vendor profiles.

To set up your directories for locating translator downloaded files, use the Supply EDI Parameters - Interface Setup form.
This directory information is for all EDI trading partners.
To enter the data, select Actions > New.
This data includes:
- Trading partner code
- Inbound archive and data directories
- Outbound archive and data directories
- Log file directory
Since each vendor can handle EDI data differently, to set up how each vendor trading partner's specific data is handled, use the EDI Vendor Profiles form. To enter data in the fields on the form, select Actions > New.
The information you can provide for each vendor includes:
- Vendor number, ship-to address, trading partner code, and Duns number
- How to handle outbound purchase orders, planning schedules, and ship schedules
- How to handle inbound vendor invoices, purchase order acknowledgments, and vendor ship notices
- How to handle header, blanket, and line/release text
