Jose, 
How can I contact you?
2
We are working on a new implementation for our company. Is there any available documentation for the steps to successfully implement EDI. I understand this can vary from company to company but any general guidelines you would like to share it will be greatly appreciated!!

Here we use EDI and we directly import into Epicor, we are on 9.05.702 but EDI was originally setup on 9.05.700b. True Commerce are the people who hand off our EDI orders to us. Setup is fairly simple unless your EDI is complex and you are using customer part numbers etc.
The difficulty comes in when you are fine tuning everything. I can get more in depth if more specific needs are stated.

hello lis,

How did it go? My company is about to start the transition from thrid party vendor doing the translation for us to doing it ourselfs with TIE evision, demand management, probably service connect. We are vantage 8.0.3.409C.

Hi,


On our side, we are with EDI, Tie, Evision, Demand Management for more than one year now and everything is really great!  It works well, the translation is perfect.


I'm even able to add définitions in country translation if necessary.  It's really simple to work with.  I've and import EDI process running every 30 minutes.  So the orders are always entered really fast and the information is accurate.  We were even able to set some verif.  So we know when an orders come in with a bad price or info.


The only thing we add was with the Customer part section.  Every part must be loaded there if I want to have some part orders that are different from Customer to another one.  If not, the part field of the order will stay blank through EDI.

Thanks for your input Amelie! Do you have some documentation you can share?


Jose

What would you need?  Something on Tie, something on demand management?  Bam and bpm working with this?

Amelie to be honest i am trying to get as much info as possible on EDI in Vantage. I had a 5 day classes on tie evision and integrator 2 years ago and had to drop the project due to company reasons. i have also done some test myself because our company uses alot "special treatment" at customer entry and notice that i would have to re-create almost all my BPMS from order entry into demand entry. Did all your BPMS worked after demand entry processed the order in Order entry? (if you had any BPMS in order entry)


Also did you have speacial customers that got special treatment at order entry? How you handled new ship tos? drop ships in edi? our company has alot of drop ships and i on a regular basis have to delete drop ships to keep the database from cloggin up. What about ship to already in the system, how did vendors deal with that? did you have to give the names to the vendor to put in the edi document or some sort of SC workflow to look for that address and look for the name in your database?


its alot of questions i know, but any insight you have i would appreciate. thank you

Hi,

We have implemented EDI with TIE, eVision, Demand Management on E9.05.701 and it's really going well for last 7 months and very pleased with functionality provided by both TIE and Epicor. As Amelie mentioned, customer parts are pain as we need to maintain it in Evision as well in Epicor. 

Epicor 9 has one-time ship-to functionality and Data Directive which will take care of  new ship-to and BPMs but I don't think it's  available in Vantage. With EDI Direct Import process, there is no need to develop SC workflow. So for support provided by TIE is very good. If you need any information, please let me know.

Regards,
Arul

Hello guys,

So i have good test run in vantage with 810/850/855/856. 


the only problem i have and i am not sure if anyone had it is with the 855 (sales order ack) BAM. When i run a order ack manually i get the text file but when i try to auto print it, it reads as complete in the system monitor but nothing shows up in the folder. my BAMS work for 810/856. did anyone saw this for their setup? any solutions? thanks!
