The EDI 850 is a Sales Order transaction set used to place an order for goods or services. Also known as an electronic purchase order, an EDI 850 is usually sent to a vendor as the first step in the ordering process.
The EDI 850 generally provides the same information you would find in a paper SO document, including:
- Items, prices, and quantities ordered
- Shipping details
- Payment terms
- Discounts
It can be used for single or recurring purchases. Using the EDI 850 provides several benefits. It streamlines the purchasing process, enabling sellers to optimize their operations and buyers to receive their goods more quickly. In addition, because EDI transactions are encrypted en route, trading partners can securely share sensitive data like pricing.
Key Features:
Key features for the process of programmatically picking the EDI file from a defined location and creating a Sales Order transaction in Sage X3 are as follows:
- File Copy: The EDI file will be programmatically copied from the defined location, such as FTP, SFTP, or a network path, and saved in the Sage X3 local file format. This ensures that the file is accessible within the system for further processing.
- File Copy: The EDI file will be programmatically copied from the defined location, such as FTP, SFTP, or a network path, and saved in the Sage X3 local file format. This ensures that the file is accessible within the system for further processing.
- File Conversion: Based on the defined mapping, the EDI file will be programmatically read and converted into a Sage X3-compatible template. This conversion ensures that the file can be processed and understood by the system.
- Sales Order Creation: Once the Sage X3 template is ready, a Sales Order will be created using the details from the file, such as item, price,quantities ordered, shipping details, payment terms, discounts,and any other relevant information. The system will display a log to provide visibility into the process and any potential errors or notifications.
5. File Deletion: After the successful processing of the EDI file, it will be deleted from the source location. This helps maintain a clean and organized file management system.
These key features enable the seamless integration of EDI files into Sage X3, facilitating the creation of sales orders. The process can be customized to fit specific business requirements and can be executed either manually or automatically for enhanced efficiency.
The 850In (Sales Order in Sage X3) process automates the sales order 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 order, and displays a log. The original file is deleted. This automated process enhances supply chain management in Sage X3.
