EDI 840 Request for Quote inbound and EDI 850 Purchase Order inbound
When your customer trading partners send you requests for quotes and purchase orders, they are converted into quote orders and sales orders, respectively.
ION and SX.api program processing
In CloudSuite Distribution and on-premises Distribution SX.e, you can receive the purchase orders through ProcessSalesOrder BODs. Sales orders are created directly from elements in the BODs.
Optionally, you can use the OE Full Order Maintenance SX.api program in on-premises Distribution SX.e to receive quote requests and purchase orders. You must translate the inbound EDI document into a format that can be read by the OE Full Order Maintenance SX.api call. Contact Infor Consulting Services about the requirements.
When you use ION or SX.api program processing, transactions without fatal errors are converted to the appropriate document without user intervention.
Standard flat file processing
In on-premises Distribution SX.e, you can run the EDI Entry Processing Purchase Orders Report to receive quote requests and purchase orders in flat files.
If you use this method, ensure that a one-time batch is set up in Order Entry Batch Setup. When you run the report, the incoming EDI documents are received into this batch, based on the options you select on the report. You must review and maintain the batch in OE Entry Batch Transaction Entry, and then run the Sales Entry Batch Update Report to convert the batch files into sales orders. You can send an EDI 843 Response to Request to Quote to send the quotes to your customers
After you process the EDI 840 and EDI 850 documents, you can run the Sales Entry Processing Acknowledgements Report to send an EDI 843 Response to Request for Quote or EDI 855 Purchase Order Acknowledgement to the customer.
