In response to an 840 Request for Quote from an EDI customer, the system creates a sales order with an RFQ status and places it in the Remote Order Entry Review Queue. The system sends a message to the user responsible for reviewing incoming orders. After this person reviews the bid and makes any necessary changes, the system sends your customer an EDI 843 Response to RFQ.
Before the system can receive an 840, set up the system as follows:
Create a trading partner profile for which an 840 inbound document is defined.
Assign the vendor from whom you are receiving the 840 to this profile.
Display the EDI bid in Sales Order Entry in one of the following ways:
From the Orders > Queues menu, select Remote Order Entry Review to display the Remote Order Entry Review Queue window. The system displays "RFQ" in the Sta column for 840s. Select the item and from the Order menu, select Edit Order.
From the System > Message System menu, select Message Queue. If necessary, set the mode to Received. Select the bid and from the Message menu, select View Item.
Edit the bid, as needed.
Display the Status tab of the bid.
Change the Print status to EDI.
The system transmits an EDI 843 Response to RFQ to the customer from which you received the 840.
Note: To remove the bid from the Remote Order Entry Review Queue, select the order and from the Edit menu, select Clear Review.
