EDI Vendor User ID Setup overview
Function acronym: EDSV
Use this function to create records that cross reference the vendor values with your values.
Vendors often use values to identify customers, ship tos, customer types, customer rebates types, and warehouses that differ from your values and require that their values are used in EDI documents.
For example, you would set up a cross-reference record if you identify your main warehouse as Main on a Product Warehouse Description Setup record, but the vendor identifies the same warehouse as DistributorName_Main.
Both inbound and outbound EDI files can include the Vendor User ID, such as these files:
- EDI 845 inbound Pricing Authorization Acknowledgment/Status
- EDI 844 outbound Product Transfer Account Adjustment
- EDI 867 outbound Product Transfer and Resale Report
Cross-reference records for customers, ship tos, customer types, and customer rebates types are specific to pricing and rebate records. They are used when you run the EDI Entry Processing Contract Pricing Report.
You can cross-reference multiple customers and ship tos to a single vendor and Vendor User ID, but the other types of cross-reference values require a unique Vendor User ID for each vendor.
