Menu Path: Electronic Data Interchange Images\bluerarw.gif Module Setup Images\bluerarw.gif Mark Closed Transactions as EDI Processed

Purpose

Mark closed transactions as processed.

Overview

Use Mark Closed Transactions as EDI Processed to mark all closed transactions as processed by EDI before you export any new forms to the trading partner. This prevents the system from sending any closed transactions to the trading partner. You can mark closed transactions as processed by EDI for a single trading partner or all trading partners, and a single form or multiple forms simultaneously.

Mark Closed Transactions as EDI Processed supports the following EDI forms:

The system marks as processed, the pick demands, advanced shipping notices, bills of lading, and voided orders that are associated with an 856 form and a DESADV form. Similarly, the system marks as processed, the invoices that are associated with an 810 form, an 880 form, an 894 form, and an INVOIC form.

NOTE You cannot set up this window to use Scheduling Assistant, but need to mark transactions and consequently generate the report manually.
