Supported EDI transactions

Infor currently provides these EDI transactions for its EDI customers. The ASC X12 number is shown in parentheses:

  • Purchase orders (850) Outbound

    The basic transaction for all EDI purchasing is the electronic purchase order. With electronic purchase orders, EDI users can order materials from vendors electronically.

  • Purchase order acknowledgments (855) Inbound

    After receiving a purchase order, the vendor returns a detailed purchase order acknowledgment to the client. This acknowledgment summarizes the information on the purchase order and validates the order's authenticity.

  • Price/sales catalogs (832)

    Throughout the purchasing process, the supplier should repeatedly send the client price/sales catalogs. These catalogs are EDI transactions that contain detailed ordering information. The catalogs update the client's computer system with current item numbers and prices for available sales items.

  • Advance ship notification (856) Inbound

    Before sending an order shipment, a supplier or vendor can send an advance ship notice using EDI. This ship notification gives the client detailed information about the contents of an upcoming shipment.

  • Invoices (810) Inbound

    After a shipment is sent, vendors send their clients electronic invoices, which are electronic bills for materials and services.
