Reviewing and Editing EDI 845 Pricing Contract Detail
Review and edit the detail of pricing contract information the system receives on EDI 845 Price Authorization Acknowledgment documents. Each line on the Contract Detail window displays the data relevant to each product and product group included in the selected contract. The system uses the UPC# to locate matching product records in Eclipse and uses the group ID to locate matching sell groups in the Sell Group Translation window associated with the 845's group profile in Trading Partner Maintenance. The system sorts the queue entries in the following order:
The system creates a sell matrix cell for each matched line when you run the contract update. Before running the update, you need to review and edit the contract detail.
Use the
views in the Contract Detail window to review and scan for errors and edit the contract detail. As you are reviewing details, the lines in error display with an icon
in the Error field. Move your cursor over the icon to display the error message. You can also select the item in error and select View > View Error messages. Use the Error icon as a way to scan the list for the items that require your attention before updating the contracts.
-
EDI/Product Group - Use this view to research and correct ** Product Not Found ** and ** Group Not Found ** entries. After you have made corrections to the product and group records, return to the queue and reprocess the 845.
-
Rebate Cost - Use this view to set the rebate cost for stock sales of the designated products/groups to the designated customers.
-
Direct Cost - Use this view only if the contract offers you a rebate cost for direct orders.
-
Sell Price - Use this view only if the vendor specifies the contract sell price or if you want to adjust your standard selling price for the customer. If you want to create cost-only matrix cells for the contract, use this view to set the Cost column to Yes.
Note: The system auto-populates the fields in this view, if default values have been set in Customer Maintenance or Trading Partner Maintenance.
Note: You can double-click the Error column heading to sort all the lines with errors to the top of the queue.
To review and edit EDI 845 pricing contract detail:
-
Display the Selection Criteria window in one of the following ways and enter the selection criteria:
-
From the System > System Programming > EDI > EDI Review Queues menu, select EDI 845 Review Queue.

Review and edit the data displayed in the
