EDI

EDI transfers can be used for purchasing drop-ship products. Once a relationship has been established with a vendor, CORESense will enable the EDI Manager and the EDI feeds through the SPS provider.

Vendor Manager

Once the vendor relationship is complete, you can enter their EDI vendor ID and select the Default Method of EDI under the Purchasing tab of the Vendor Manager.

Drop-ship PO Creation

EDI POs can be initiated during manual fulfillment of an order or after the drop-ship item is placed into the PO Queue from the automation process. Once initiated, Step 1 of the Purchasing Wizard has the EDI 850 option in the Method drop-down list. Select that option and continue with remaining Purchasing Wizard steps. A Template does not need to be selected since the request is being sent electronically via XML.

EDI Files

The EDI 850 request is then viewable in the EDI Manager located under the Products tab.

CORESense generates the EDI 850 file and a cron sends it to SPS who then transfers it to the vendor.
A 846 is sent from the vendor (via SPS) to CORESense to identify inventory quantities which are then added to your virtual vendor inventory levels.
A 856 is sent from the vendor (via SPS) to CORESense to communicate that the order has been shipped. All tracking and delivery date information is posted to the order.
