e-dn.com Information

Within the IC | Inventory File | General tab, an E-Dn button is available to make direct inquires into the Trading Partner’s warehouse.  If the item indicates a registered manufacturer and a valid manufacturer model (part number), the system will return the available inventory information from the trading partner.

To begin the process of accessing the Trading Partner information, select the E-DN button located on the IC | Inventory File | General screen.

From the Inventory Item E-Dn Query screen select Query Item.

The system will indicate a brief waiting period while the information is queried.

When the query is complete, the system will display the available response information from the manufacturer. 

Select the Details button located in the Details column to access further information about the item.  Fields that appear as blanks are unsupported by the manufacturer.

Creating a Purchase Order for submission to an E-Dn Trade Partner

The TransActPOS and E-Dn relationship also allows the submission of purchase orders to an E-Dn Trading Partner.  If the indicated items have the appropriate Manufacture and Manufacture model (item number) , the system will transmit the purchase order to the Trading Partner as an order.

To submit a purchase order to a Trading Partner, begin by selecting PO | Create PO.

Locate the appropriate vendor.  In this example “Bryan Equipment Sales” will be the vendor and Trading Partner.

Accept the vendor once located.

Select the Detail tab to enter the item detail for the purchase order.

In this example, item “ST00003503500” has been selected and is entered in the purchase order.  The quantity of the item has been changed to 10 by selecting the Change Qty button.

Selecting Save will post this information to the system and turn on the E-DN button, located in the bottom left of the screen.

From the Purchase Order | Main screen the user may select the E-Dn button at any time to submit the purchase order to E-Dn trading Partner.  Once a Purchase Order has been submitted to a Trading Partner, no additional changes will be sent to the Trading Partner even though the user may modify the local copy of the purchase order.

Once the E-Dn button is selected, the Purchase Order E-Dn Interface screen will appear from which the user will select the Submit PO button to begin the process of transmitting the purchase order to the Trading Partner indicated in the vendor field of the purchase order.
