Use the Freight Vendor Lookup feature to cross-reference your internally freight carriers to the freight vendors set up in Eclipse. By using this table, when EDI 856s come in the system can assign the correct freight vendor and translate that onto the associate bill of lading accordingly.
To link a carrier to a freight vendor:
Display a trading partner profile on the EDI Trading Partner Profile Maintenance screen.
Note: If prompted, log on to the character-based system.
Select Group ID and use the Group Profile Maintenance hot key to display the EDI Group Profile Maintenance screen.
Select an EDI 856 Incoming document.
Use the Edit Tables hot key and select Freight Vendor Lookup.
In the Trading Partner Carrier column, enter the carrier, such as United Postal Service, assigned by the trading partner.
In the corresponding line in the Eclipse Freight Vendor column, enter the ship via Eclipse should use when receiving and 856 document in the system, such as UPS.
