General Information about EDI Order Import List

Why Use This Procedure?

The EDI Order Import List procedure is a supplement to MONITOR that is used by those who import customer orders via EDI messages (type ORDERS). This procedure is the same as the Import EDI Orders procedure, but here you can schedule the imports by using the MONITOR Agent which is a supplement to MONITOR.

Under the Create tab you make you selections for the import.

You can not generate automatic manufacturing and purchase orders from customer orders imported in this procedure.

Before you can use the EDI import, you must configure your system to support EDI and install a special EDI Bridge. Furthermore, your customer must use EDI when placing their orders with their suppliers. Please read more about EDI in the Using MONITOR Procedures guide.

Messages for parts configured with the alternative Block/notify and warnings if the delivery period has been entered in passed time are saved in the Historical Events procedure during import in this procedure.
