Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is the electronic means of exchanging routine business transactions with companies around the world by using standardized formats. EDI benefits an organization by streamlining the traditional paper process into an efficient and less time consuming electronic process. Through EDI, you can conduct business electronically with your trading partners in the most effective way.
Suppliers who are required to utilize Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) by their trading partners need to accept the Standard Allowance and Charges (SAC) on inbound electronic documents, and must be able to separately track and apply it correctly in the invoices for the shipped product. With the implementation of the EDI functionality (for more information, see Release 394: Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) Functionality Introduced), the SAC for the EDI transaction processing is supported.
The following changes are implemented and applicable only if the SE1200 – E-Sales Order and SE1231 – EDI integration with third party is included in the license:
Note: The EDI and SAC functionalities are supported only for United States of America and Canada with Data Masons as the EDI provider.
o Related SAC discounts/charges amount will also split based on the calculation method selected.
o For percentage and amount per unit calculation method, the calculation will be based on the order line quantity.
o For fixed amount calculation method, the SAC discounts/charges will be based on the original sales order line and not the split line.
o When an EDI invoice is generated during partial fulfillment or allocation, the SAC discounts/charges will also split at the Discount/Extra charges screen.
o For extra fulfillment lines that are split from the original sales order, the SAC discounts/charges from the original sales order line will be applied. The grouped phantom lines will be recalculated and updated.
o When the extra line fulfillment is manually added at the Fulfillment screen, depending on the sales order setting and the invoice method, the SAC discounts/charges is manually maintained. If the sales invoice is generated during the fulfillment, the original sales order will automatically display a completed status. As such, the SAC discounts/charges cannot be edited.
o For additional receipts that are added to the sales order when you receive more than the planned allocated purchase orders or production orders, the same SAC discounts/charges from the original sales order lines are applied. The grouped phantom lines will be recalculated and updated.
