An EDI 830 Forecast Schedule is a document your customer sends to inform you of their projected product needs. The requirements are either firm or forecasts.
Before the system can receive an 830, set up the system as follows:
Create a trading partner profile for which an 830 inbound document is defined.
Assign the vendor from whom you are receiving the 830 to this profile.
You can set up your trading partner profiles to process 830s in one of the following ways:
Select a custom mapper, which creates an open sales order for the products listed.
Run the EDI.830.PRINT.DOC program, which formats the data and sends the 830 Forecast Schedule Report to your Hold file.
Run the EDI.PRINT.DOC program, which translates the raw data and places an unformatted report in your Hold file.
Managing orders created by 830s is a complex process, for the following reasons:
With each 830 your system creates a new order that contains products that may have been included on a previous 830.
When a product listed has a zero quantity requirement, the system sends a message to the EDI Error Queue.
We recommend that you discuss this transaction with EDI Support before using it.
