After you create an EDI trading partner profile for a vendor, you can set up the system to send documents to the vendor by EDI.
To set up a vendor for EDI transmission:
From the Maintenance menu, select Vendor to display the Vendor Maintenance window.
In the Vendor field, enter the name of the vendor to which you want to send EDI documents.
From the Additional menu, select Additional Vendor Information to display the Additional Vendor Information window.
In the Print Status Override field, select EDI.
Note: The EDI option is only available if the vendor is assigned to a trading partner profile.
If your company uses vendor managed inventory, in the Allowed Pricing Variance field designate an acceptable pricing variance for incoming 855s.
For each vendor you do business with using EDI, you can select whether to use the pricing defined in Eclipse, or whether to allow a variance in either dollars or a percentage. Use the Allowed Pricing Variancefield and the field adjacent to it to indicate the pricing variance allowed for this vendor. If the difference in pricing information that is defined in Eclipse is outside the range you enter here on transactions with this vendor, the system uses the pricing information defined in Eclipse.
In the Freight Days field, enter the number of days lead time required for a shipment from this vendor. The system adds that number of days to the ship date on 855s and 856s to determine the expected arrival date of the shipment.
