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.

  1. To set up your logical folders for locating translator downloaded files, use the Supply EDI Parameters - Interface Setup form.

    This logical folder information is for all EDI trading partners.

  2. Specify this information:
    • Trading partner code, which is used as the file suffix
    • Inbound archive and data logical folders
    • Outbound archive and data logical folders
    • Log file logical folder
    Note: Filenames are case-sensitive in the Cloud and must be all uppercase, including the file suffix (Trading Partner Code).
  3. 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.

    Specify this information for each vendor:

    • 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
