Chris, You hit on a sore spot for most Vantage EDI users.
If you in fact need to send via EDI you will need a third
party product and I would suggest (depending on the number
of invoices) re-entering the invoice info into that
product. The Vantage EDI module has some significant
hurdles to get to work and would most likely require some
custom programming to interface directly with your customer.
The text file might be a better alternative. Depending on the
format required by your customer you may be able to export
a report builder report to the requested format.
That said, all of our EDI customers are moving or have moved
to an internet based data interchange which might also be available.
It is the future....even for Vantage....or should I say Vantage.net.
Second part, You could 'move' all the invoices to a separate group
for just that customer. I'm not sure what that would do for you.
I don't think your customer would want the file in the Vantage
invoice format.

Subject: [Vantage] customer invoices sent electronically
Hello everyone,
One of our customers has requested that we send our invoices to them via
EDI or get it to them in a text file. Is anyone currently sending their
invoices electronically?
My second question then related to all this is when you are pulling the
invoices through with the "get shipments" option in A/R, how are you going
to get just the customer that wants the electronic invoices? Would you
have to play around with marking only their shipments ready to invoice
first from shipping, and then do all the other customers?
Anyone have any ideas or advice? We are on Vantage 4.0.
Have a good Friday!
