Sales Delivery Creation in Sage X3 Warehouse using the 945In EDI Process

By | August 24, 2023

The 945In (Sales Delivery in Sage X3) (Warehouse) process involves programmatically picking up an EDI file from a defined location (FTP, SFTP, or accessible network path) and creating a Sales Delivery transaction in Sage X3. The steps include copying the EDI file to Sage X3’s local file format and creating an archive for backup. The system then reads and converts the file based on defined mapping rules, preparing a Sage X3 template. Using this template, the Sales Delivery is generated, including packaging and stock details like LOT, Serial, Sublot, and more if applicable. A log is displayed to record the process’s details. Finally, the source file is deleted. This process can be executed manually or through a batch task in the background without manual intervention, enhancing supply chain management in Sage X3.

The process of creating a Sales Delivery in Sage X3 (Warehouse) through an EDI file involves the following steps:

  1. File Pickup: The process begins by programmatically picking up the EDI file from a predefined location. This location can be an FTP server, an SFTP server, or any accessible network path where the EDI files are received from external partners, clients, or systems.
  2. Copy to Local File Format:  After picking up the EDI file, it is copied to a local file format with Sage X3. This conversion ensures that the data within the EDI file can be processed and used effectively by Sage X3.
  3. Archiving: The same EDI file is copied as an archive for backup purposes. Keeping an archive helps maintain a record of all received EDI files, providing a backup in case any issues arise during the processing.
  4. File Mapping: Once the EDI file is copied into Sage X3’s local file format, the system programmatically reads the file according to the defined mapping rules. The mapping process interprets the data in the EDI file and transforms it into a format that is consistent with Sage X3’s data structure. 
  5. Data Conversion: After mapping, the EDI data is converted into a Sage X3 template. This template is used for the Sales Delivery transaction, including packaging and stock details such as LOT, Serial, Sublot, and any additional relevant information.

Sales Delivery Creation: With the Sage X3 template ready, the system creates the Sales Delivery transaction in Sage X3’s Warehouse module. The Sales Delivery includes all the relevant information from the EDI file, such as item details, quantity shipped, packaging details, and any specific stock-related information.

7. Log Display: As the Sales Delivery is created, the system generates a log that records the details of the entire process. The log provides a comprehensive view of the EDI data processing, any errors that occurred, and the successful creation of the Sales Delivery transaction.

8. File Deletion: After the successful creation of the Sales Delivery and displayed log, the EDI file is deleted from the source location. This ensures that processed files are not reprocessed or processed again and again during the specific transaction.

9. The above process can be done manually or automatically through a batch task process, allowing the specific transaction to run in the background without any manual efforts. This automation makes the process easy, so the Sales Delivery creation process improves efficiency, reduces errors, and improves the overall management of the supply chain in the Sage X3 system.

The 945In (Sales Delivery in Sage X3 Warehouse) process automates Sales Delivery creation from an EDI file. It involves file pickup from a defined location, conversion to Sage X3 format, and creating an archive for backup. The system then maps and converts the data, generates a Sales Delivery with packaging and stock details, and displays a log. The original file is deleted. This automated process enhances supply chain management in Sage X3.
