Making EDI Network Calls Overview

The system makes network calls to your value added network (VAN) to transmit EDI documents. After making a connection, the system sends outgoing EDI documents to and retrieves incoming EDI documents from your mailbox at the VAN.

Before you can make network calls, you need to create a network configuration profile. A configuration profile records the network access telephone number and your company's identification information for that network.

After a network configuration profile is in place, you can schedule the system to make network calls at regular intervals. You can also make a network call now.

Complete the following tasks to setup EDI network calls:
