WHAT IS EDI? IT SOUNDS SIMPLE…
EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) is defined as the structured transmission of data between organizations by electronic means. It is used to transfer electronic documents such as Purchase Orders, Invoices, Advance Shipping Notices (ASNs), and many more from one computer system to another, i.e. from one trading partner to another trading partner.

BUT IT CAN BE VERY COMPLEX…
Each trading partner specifies their required communication method and which documents they require to complete EDI transactions. This can make the EDI process very complex as illustrated below.

THIRD PARTY LOGISTICS – 3PL EDI
The term “3PL” indicates that your client uses a 3rd party for warehousing and shipping needs. The following EDI documents are common:
• 940 – Warehouse Shipping Order • 945 – Warehouse Shipping Advice • 856 – Advance Ship Notice (ASN) • UCC / GS1-128 Barcode Labels
In this simplified scenario, there are only two steps: 1. An EDI 940 (Warehouse Ship Order) is sent from the client to their
trading partner and 3PL.
2. The 3PL returns an EDI 945 (Warehouse Ship Advice) to let the client know the goods have been shipped. This lets the client fulfill the sales order in their Acumatica.

ONLINE RETAILERS & COMMERCEHUB
Most “Box Store Retailers” who also have online (.com) stores will use the CommerceHub platform to transmit EDI documents. In this case, B2BGateway would communicate with CommerceHub first…
850 – Purchase Order [ Imported as Sales Order in Acumatica] 846 – Inventory Advice [ Outbound reflecting inventory levels ] 810 – Invoice [ Outbound to your Trading Partner ]

GS1-128 LABELS
In today’s business environment, GS1-128 (formerly known as UCC-128) labels have become a necessary part of the criteria for large format retailers in automating the supply chain with their suppliers. GS1-128 labels are an outer label affixed to each carton and/or pallet and provide information about a particular shipment. This label will alert the trading partner about shipment information such as who the vendor / supplier is, carton content, store ship to location, etc., and is a mix of both human readable as well as scan able information. The GS1-128 label on every carton is scanned at its destination location (e.g. trading partner central warehouse) and information usually is tied to an Advance Ship Notice (ASN) that has already been transmitted via EDI to the trading partner from the supplier.

BUILT INTO THE ACUMATICA DASHBOARD
When designing our Acumatica integration tool, we decided the user should never have to leave their Acumatica system so we built B2BGateway in!

TRANSACTION REPORTS
A 997 is also known as a Functional Acknowledgement (FA). It lets the client know if the trading partner has received and accepted the file. Receipt of a 997 does not necessarily mean that the file contains no errors.
.

.
EXCEPTION REPORTS
If a client sees an Open Exception in the Transaction Report, they should open up the Exception Reports Section on their Client Portal. Here they will see files that have been rejected by the trading partner and a reason as to why the were rejected. The client can then fix these errors and re-send or contact B2BGateway support for help.
