Please Note! The user that goes in and maintains the EDI messages in the procedure, must be very familiar with the different kinds of EDI messages and formats that are used in the system.You will find a general description of how to manage lists in MONITOR in the chapter Managing Lists in the System under General in the MONITOR Basics guide.
Why Use This Procedure?
MONITOR uses this procedure to supervise and maintain the incoming and outgoing EDI messages in the database.
The new incoming EDI messages can be loaded under the Create tab once they have been copied from the import file using MEDI. The outgoing EDI messages can be loaded here once they have been exported in the procedures Print Pick Lists and Print EDI Invoices.
What Update Options Exist for this Procedure?
In this procedure, you can update all the information in an EDI message that has been imported from an import file, or will be exported to an export file. These updates are made in a table that must first be loaded onto your screen. See a sample of the table under Printout samples at
Please Note! The user that goes in and maintains the EDI messages in the procedure, must be very familiar with the different kinds of EDI messages and formats that are used in the system.
You usually only need to update the status of an EDI message, in case a new import or export of the EDI message will be made.
EDI Message Status
A new EDI message is given the status 1 (New) after it has been copied to this procedure from the import file using MEDI.
During import of a new EDI message for orders in the Import EDI Delivery Schedule procedure, the message is given the status 8 (Error/Cancelled), if the row has not been accepted using Ok. If the row has been accepted, the message is given the status 9 (Historical).
Conversely, during the export of an EDI message, it will always receive status 9 when it is copied from here to the export file using MEDI.
There are two more status definitions: 2 (Busy/Processing) and 3 (Pending) which have been defined and can be manually configured here, but they are currently not used in the system.
