EDI Log

The EDI Log Inquiry (Main Menu > Purchasing > Inquiry) provides a record of EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) activity processed from the software. The same log and inquiry are shared by all EDI vendor options. Content as well as the level of detail can vary based upon the vendor.

Log Entries

The tree view control on the left-hand side of the form lists those dates that EDI activity was logged. In some cases, EDI activity isn't a daily operation, so don't be concerned if you don't see entries for all dates. Use the "+" next to a date to expand and view the entries for that date. One or more entries will be listed for each date in the tree. Selecting an entry displays the logged messages and in some cases, details for the EDI processing responsible for the log entry.

The Branches button can be used to select the locations (branches) that you want to view log activity for. EDI is typically configured separately for each store (branch) location. It does not necessarily have to be used with every location, however.

Messages

The messages folder tab located in the main panel displays messages logged during EDI processing for the date entry selected in the tree. Selection of a log entry and choosing "Details" will, in some cases, display additional details. Typically, additional detail is reserved for File Maintenance type operations and would provide a more detailed reference to changes that were applied.
