Entering Additional EDI Document Information

Use the EDI Add'l Doc Info screen to define additional information required to process a document assigned to an EDI trading partner's group profile.

Note: If you are defining additional document information for inbound 845s, you can access the document information in Solar Eclipse from the 845 Contract Upload Queue.

To enter additional EDI document information:

  1. Display a trading partner profile on the EDI Trading Partner Profile Maintenance screen.

Note: If prompted, log on to the character-based system.

  1. Select a group ID and use the Group Profile Maintenance hot key to display the EDI Group Profile Maintenance screen.

  2. Select a document number and use the Add'l Doc Info hot key to display the EDI Add'l Doc Info screen.

The document number you select determines the fields displayed in the EDI Add'l Doc Info screen.

  1. Complete the fields on the EDI Add'l Doc Info screen, as needed.

Note: The fields available for each document are different depending on your document number selection. For example, the system displays different fields if you select an 855 than if you select an 845. See the Field Options on the EDI Add'l Doc Info Screenbelow for more information.

  1. Press Esc to save the information and return to the EDI Group Profile Maintenance screen.

Field Options on the EDI Add'l Doc Info Screen

The following table describes all the possible fields on the EDI Add'l Doc Info screen:

Inbound Documents

Outbound Documents

Field

Applies To

Description

Display 2 Decimals in Rebate Detail

Outbound 844

Inbound 849

Enter Y to display the actual cost, rebate cost, difference amount, and the extended rebate amount for the total quantity sold of the product to two decimal places in outbound 844 rebate reports.

The decimal place rounding also applies to inbound 849 rebate responses. Enter Y in this field to display the rebate cost, cost, and rebate amounts to two decimal places.

Enter N to round to three decimal places.

Note: The system uses standard rounding logic. If the third decimal place is 5 for greater, the second decimal point is rounded up.

Amounts on the 849 rebate responses can extend anywhere from two to six digits. When the system compares the vendor cost on the inbound 849 to the cost in Eclipse, rounding may cause the system to see items on the 849 as exceptions. Use this field to indicate how you want the system to handle rounding to avoid rebate items from unnecessarily being considered exceptions.
