EDI Trading Partner Maintenance

Menu Path: Electronic Data Interchange Images\bluerarw.gif Module Setup Images\bluerarw.gif EDI Trading Partner Maintenance

Purpose

Set up and maintain EDI trading partners.

Overview

Use EDI Trading Partner Maintenance to define a trading partner relationship between your company and its trading partners. This trading partner ID is then associated with customers in Customer Maintenance, suppliers in Supplier Maintenance, or third-party logistics warehouses in Location Maintenance.

Note Each trading partner is associated with one EDI standard.

Establishing a new partner relationship requires setup and testing periods determined by the partner. Each partner has different periods and testing methods. For more information, refer to the partner’s implementation documentation.

If your third-party EDI software is provided by Sterling Commerce, then the partner relationship must also be defined in Sterling Director.

Creating Trading Partners

Note If you are using EDI Transaction Management, you must set up a network in Network Maintenance before creating trading partners.

To create a trading partner:

  1. Click the New button in the ribbon.

  2. Enter a trade ID for the trading partner in the Trade ID field.

  3. Enter a name for the trading partner in the Trade ID Name field.

  4. Select options for the trading partner. If you are using EDI Transaction Management, select the ETM Partner check box.

  5. Click the Forms tab. Double-click EDI forms in the Available Forms grid that you will send to and receive from the trading partner.

  6. If you selected the ETM Partner check box in step 4, click the ETM Partner tab, and enter data for the required fields, then click the ETM Partner Outbound Options tab, and enter data for the required fields.

  7. Click the OK button in the ribbon. The trading partner is created.

Creating Cross-References

NOTE You can create multiple cross-references for a single Apprise value (e.g., a unit of measure may be called Each in Apprise, but the trading partner uses values of EA, PK, and PR). If multiple cross-references are set up for an Apprise value, the first partner value is used for outgoing EDI transactions. If you need to transmit a value that is not the first partner value, you can use a spare or user-defined field.

To create a cross-reference:

  1. Enter a valid trade ID in the Trade ID field for the trading partner for which you want to set up a cross-reference.

  2. Click the Update button in the ribbon.

  3. Click the Lookup button to the right of the Xref Type field, and select a cross-reference type. You can also use the First, Prev, Next, and Last buttons to navigate through the cross-reference types.

  4. If the cross-reference is only for a specific form type, enter the form type in the Form Type field.

  5. Enter in the partner’s code for the cross-reference in the Partner Code field.

  6. Enter the internal Apprise code for the cross-reference in the Apprise Code field.

  7. If you want to allow the cross-reference to be used for all outbound transactions, select the Valid Outbound check box.

  8. Click the Add button to add the cross-reference to the Related Cross References grid.

  9. Click the OK button in the ribbon. The cross-reference is created.

Note If you select this check box, the Use Supplier Product Table and Use Customer Product Table check boxes are automatically cleared. You can only select one of these product code cross-reference methods.

Override Product Description

Select this check box if the description from the inbound EDI transmission will override the Apprise product name.

NOTE If the product description is blank in an import file, it will not override the Apprise product name even if this check box is selected.

Override Customer Terms

Select this check box if you want the payment terms on inbound EDI orders to override the customer's default terms. If this check box is cleared, the customer’s default terms override the terms from the inbound EDI order. You may need to establish a cross-reference to the partner’s terms on the Cross Reference tab.

Import a Blank Shipper

Select this check box to allow a blank shipper on inbound EDI orders. If this check box is cleared, a shipper is required. The software uses the following hierarchy to determine the shipper:

  • Inbound EDI order

  • Customer ship-to address

  • Customer

  • Customer Service Control Maintenance

  • EDI trading partner

Note The shipper ID is validated during EDI order imports even if this check box is selected.

Import a Blank UM

Select this check box if you want to ignore the product unit of measure in EDI order import files received from the trading partner, and instead use the default selling unit of measure for the ordered products. You should select this check box if the trading partner always sends EDI order files with invalid units of measure to avoid errors.

Import Duplicate PO Number

Select this check box to allow duplicate purchase order numbers when importing orders for the trading partner in Order Import or EDI Order Import.

Note If this check box is selected for an order class, customer, or trading partner, duplicate purchase order numbers are allowed.

Price Discrepancy Option

Select one of the following options to determine what occurs if the price on an inbound EDI order is different from the price calculated for the price matrix.

  • Use Matrix Price - Use the price from the price matrix instead of the imported price.

  • Use Imported Price - Use the imported price instead of the price from the price matrix.

NOTE If this option is selected, and a blank price is imported, the price matrix price is used.

  • Use Higher Price - Compare the price from the price matrix and the imported price, and use the higher price.

  • Fatal Error - Prevent the order from importing.

Price Warning Option

Select one of the following options to determine if a price warning is generated when the price calculated for a price matrix is different from the price on an inbound EDI order:

  • Always - Generate a price warning if the price matrix price is higher or lower than the inbound EDI order price by a percentage equal to or greater than the percentage entered in the Price Warning Threshold % field.

  • Never - Never generate a price warning if the prices are different.

  • Higher Matrix Price - Generate a price warning if the price matrix price is higher than the inbound EDI order price by a percentage equal to or greater than the percentage entered in the Price Warning Threshold % field.

  • Lower Matrix Price - Generate a price warning if the price matrix price is lower than the inbound EDI order price by a percentage equal to or greater than the percentage entered in the Price Warning Threshold % field.

Note These radio buttons are disabled if the Fatal Error radio button is selected in the Price Discrepancy Option radio set.

Price Warning Threshold %

Enter the percentage difference between the price on an inbound EDI order and the price matrix that will generate a price warning (based on the selected price warning option). The percentage is calculated as the matrix price being X percentage different from the import price, where X is the value entered in this field.

Example If you enter 25 in this field and the Always radio button is selected, a price warning is always generated if the matrix price is 25% greater than or less than the import price. If the import price is 8 and the matrix price is 10, a price warning is generated because 10 is 25% greater than 8. However, if the import price is 12 and the matrix price is 10, a price warning is not generated because 10 is 20% less than 12.

Note This field is disabled if the Never radio button is selected in the Price Warning Option radio set.  

EDI Hold/Review Option

Select one of the following options to determine what occurs for inbound EDI orders:

  • All Orders - Place all incoming orders for the trading partner on EDI hold.

  • Type - This column displays the EDI form type to identify a form such as 850, which represents EDI purchase orders.

  • Description - This column displays a description of each form type.

  • Outbound Trade ID - Enter an outbound trade ID for each form to indicate a customer’s ship-to address the third-party EDI software will use for sending (856) and receiving (810). Each customer’s ship-to record contains a sequence number that keeps track of ship-to addresses. For the software to determine where outbound documents will be sent, it needs to link the trade ID to a customer’s ship-to sequence number.

Example Trade ID = 123 for Customer A. The customer’s ship-to record contains sequence numbers 001, 002,and 003 to suggest there are three different ship-to addresses for this customer. If you enter an outbound trade ID of 123-001, you are indicating that the software should use the first ship-to address.

  • Outbound Origin Filter - Select the check box in this column to filter out non-EDI data (e.g., you do not want to send an ASN for a manually entered order). This applies only to outbound documents.
