The EDI Order Import procedure is a supplement to MONITOR that is used by those who import customer orders via EDI messages (type ORDERS).
You can also import quotes and invoice bases via EDI messages. The purpose is to be able to facilitate the work for sales persons working outside the office, who hereby can send new quotes and invoice bases as EDI messages to his/her head office.
The procedure consists of an order header where you can choose to import quotes, invoices or orders. If an import has already been made you can choose to create an order response. You can also choose to load an existing order number from the system, if no EDI import shall be made.
Further down in the window there are order rows which display all rows that have been imported or the rows on the existing order which you have loaded.
There are three different selections under the file menu that can be used to perform EDI import from a specific EDI link. This is useful if there are several EDI links on the same format group but the EDI import shall be made from just one link. This is also useful if the import shall be made from a backup file if the regular EDI import failed/interrupted.
