EDI and sales schedules

Incoming EDI messages, sent by a sold-to business partner or ship-to business partner, can provide the information based on which you can process sales schedules to deliver the requirements of the sold-to business partner.

The following EDI messages are used to import data from your sold-to business partner or ship-to business partner into sales schedules:

Material Release

Examples of material release messages are: BEM MRL001 (BEMIS). The data imported with this message consists of long-term planning information from your business partner (for instance, from MRP).

Shipping Schedule

Examples of a shipping schedule messages are: BEM SHP001 (BEMIS). The data imported with this message consists of short term ordering information (for instance, the requirements for the next two weeks).

Sequence Shipping Schedule

Examples of sequence shipping schedule messages are: BEM SEQ001 (BEMIS). This message contains the same data as the BEM SHP001 message, but also includes a specific sequence in which the material must be unloaded at the delivery dock.

Note: Received EDI messages can be processed automatically or interactively. When the previously-mentioned EDI messages are processed, LN puts through the received data to the sales release and sales schedule sessions.
