Receive EDI Data

Menu Access
 Character: EDI 3 3
 GUI: EDI; Tasks or Transactions

This function is used to create documents from transaction sets (i.e.,a group of records that contain information about a particular invoice, purchase order, etc.) that were generated by trading partners.

At present, the system can process the following types of incoming documents:

Transaction Set ID Description Converts to
810 Invoices A/P Vouchers       ("payable-reg" records)
820 Payment Remittance Suspended Payments
823 Lockbox Suspended Payments
850 Purchase Orders Quotations or Sales Orders
864 Text Messages Text messages       ("edi-txt-msg" records)
875 Purchase Orders (UCS) Sales Orders
997 Functional Acknowledgements Acknowledges documents    that have been sent via EDI

Note that Suspended Payments (820, 823) documents and Text Messages (864) create EDI documents within the EDI module. See their respective topics for more information on how to handle these documents. The 810 and 850 will create MXP/FrameWORX documents.

The system can process transaction sets from the input files specified for the range of file locations entered, the transaction set holder file,
or both.

If your communications script has created multiple files to be input then you can set up the file location to receive them from the same input directory.  You may do this by putting wildcards in the input file name when setting up the file location. Consult the EDI File Location Maintenance function for more information.

For a more detailed discussion of the receive function see the Receiving EDI Data topic.
