Interface Features for House-Hasson
The interface offers the following features:
You can submit purchase orders immediately upon processing from Order Entry (Purchasing) using options found on the Transmit, EDI tab of the Process (F12) form, or at a later time using the "Submit Purchase Orders" option found in the Vendor EDI transaction (also located in the Purchasing area).
We support PO on Contract orders. These allow entry of a contract number and date code (from the Process (F12) form for the Order Entry transaction in Purchasing, Transmit, EDI tab).
You can update a new or existing purchase order using "invoice" data retrieved from House-Hasson using the "Purchase Order Update" selection found in the Vendor EDI transaction (Purchasing). For large deliveries, most vendors provide data based on their shipment schedule. Check with your vendor to find out when your invoice data would be available for regular orders.
Processing using the "Price Updates" selection found in the Vendor EDI transaction (Purchasing) creates unapplied price updates. These should be reviewed for accuracy once created and prior to being applied. The costs for goods you receive would be updated by the "Purchase Order Update" process. Receiving a purchase order updated by EDI data would update the received items' cost pricing at that time. Price updates typically include price changes for items you haven't necessarily ordered or received recently. Mapping overrides can be used to customize how price update data is used.
You can find the following options under the "Extras" option located in the Vendor EDI transaction.
oCatalog Load
This option populates the vendor's catalog. Catalog information can be accessed via the Catalog Inquiry or Catalog Maintenance options and certain catalog information is also displayed in some application folders. In most cases, catalog data is only made available upon request. Once loaded, the file maintenance operations also performed by processing the Price Updates option will keep this information up-to-date.
For House-Hasson specifically, "empty" catalog records are used to indicate when an item has been discontinued. These have the vendor's item SKU but a zero filled barcode, no description, no UM (unit-of-measure) and most other values are zero filled. Running a catalog update will mark
oSale Pricing
Processing using the "Sale Pricing" selection found in the Vendor EDI transaction (Purchasing) creates unapplied price updates for sale/promotional pricing. These should be reviewed from the "Price Updates" transaction (Inventory) for accuracy once created and prior to being applied using the "Apply Price/Sale Changes" utility (Inventory area's Utilities menu, Updates sub-menu).
