The system can send an EDI 861 Receiving Advice document to acknowledge a received shipment from a vendor. The system generates an 861 when a user changes the Print status on a received purchase order generation to EDI. If the 861 document is not defined in the trading partner profile for the vendor, E is not an available option in the Prt field. You can also set a vendor activity trigger, so the system automatically sends an 861 when the status of a purchase order generation from that vendor changes to Received.
Before you can send an 861, set up your system as follows:
Create a trading partner profile for which an 861 outbound document is defined.
Assign the vendor to whom you want to send the 861 to this profile.
To set the activity trigger for the vendor, do the following in Activity Trigger Maintenance:
In the Trigger Description column, select the Received Purchase Order trigger description.
In the Activity Description column, select the EDI Purchasing Document activity description. The system sends an EDI document for each order on a given stop.
From the File menu, select Activity Properties and then select the 861 document type.
