EDI takes the place of the paperwork processing of Purchase Orders. It does NOT take the place of the normal communication that has to happen between the Site Supply Chain Specialist / Buyer / Vendor. The sourcing process and confirmation process have not changed. As always, communication is key to success. This document picks up from the point where the buyer is ready to send the Purchase Order to the vendor.
The Supplier must first be setup as an EDI Vendor.
1. The Buyer hits POST in the header.
2. The Purchase Order Header Status and the Part Line Status are updated to Post Pending.
3. The EDI Workflow in the Purchase Order Header is updated to Awaiting Vendor.
4. The EDI Line Status is Post Pending.
5. An Event is created showing the Initial EDI 850 PO transaction sent to supplier with the Date and Time and User ID of the person who hit Post.
