A couple of our customers are requiring that we use EDI. I am trying to learn as much as I can to decide exaclty how we should do it - EDI to fax, Sterling GENTRAN, or Epicor's EDI module. Anyone interested in discussing EDI off list, please email or call.

Thanks,

Does anyone use the Vantage EDI module? If so, would you be willing to answer a few questions off list?

Does anyone have EDI integrated with Vantage working yet?

I'm looking for info on the Vantage EDI Module. Is anybody using it
effectively? What are you using for Translation Software? We
currently use an older version of Sterling Commerce's GenTran,
without the Vantage interface. Half of our customers have gone the
way of the internet, and the other half refuse to budge off of
traditional EDI.

Thanks,

Vantage EDI module only contains the 830, 850 Import documents, and the
810 & 856 export documents.

We have been using the EDI module for several years now with one of our
large customers. The problem has been that Vantage EDI is so inflexible
that we have a VB program to "modify" the 850 document before importing
into Vantage, and the export was so bad that we don't even use it , we
just have a report builder report creating a file, and an VB program
converts it to the proper format before sending it to our customer.

Epicor cu$tom programming wants $4000 - $6000 for a 857 document PER
CUSTOMER!!!!!

We are contemplating hiring someone to develope a 857 & 997 document
which we need for another customer who wants us to use EDI transactions,
and rewrite the 850 & 810 documents to allow some data mapping. If
anyone is interested in sharing the expenses, and sharing the code,
please let me know!

Is anyone out there using the EDI module? Are you using a 3rd party translator? Which VAN? This is very confusing and expensive. We just got both of the quotes in from Vantage and their "partner" EB2B and our accountant about had heart failure. Are their any other answers?

You could use Access as a translator to extract information from Vantage and
modify it to create documents that your EDI software could use. We use
Trustlink from Innovis and we use the IBM Van with modem. The cheaper the
solution, the more turn arounds you would have to do. Yet, it can be done. I
am using my EDI module to update orders I get from our partner with a comma
delimited file. The 850 document (invoice) is a little difficult. If you
email me at maguirre@... <mailto:maguirre@...> , I could
send you a functional 850 (so far, this is the only document implemented).

Hi Scott,

We at General Sheet Metal Works are using EDI (862 inbound and 810 outbound)
We have one trading partner (Toro)
I wrote a Visual Basic Program that uses Access for the conversion.
The Van that we use is ATT, they were cheapest.
Yes EDI can be very expensive.

Thanks,

We are about to embark on EDI for receiving orders, sending
acknowledgements, and invoices with our main customer (approximately 100
orders/invoices per day). We have talked with Sterling Commerce about their
GenTran product, and are scheduled to see a demo from them. Does anyone
have experience with them? Or does anybody have anyone else to recommend?
11
My notes from the 6.0/6.10 webinar the other day indicate that in 6.10 there is a new eB2B module (I got the sense from a 3rd party) that is a complete turnkey EDI integration and service for Vantage. 6.10 is supposed to be released this month. Might be worth checking with your Epicor CAM about for details.

We are a major automotive supplier but have found that the EDI does not match what our buyer request of us. Originally we set up EDI as a custom program that has failed in all aspects to our business needs but met the buyers requirements. I am re looking at this as our custom programming does not allow for forecasting, real time shipping, or tracking. Does anyone have any input or suggestions?

Well you bring up a good question. My shipping supervisor wants me to look
into using the Vantage EDI because she believes it will help us in the typo
mistakes that they face and get rid of key strokes with the entering of the
orders. I use a different software provider to get my releases then a data
entry person updates the releases in the Vantage system and also puts in new
orders. How do you like the EDI that Vantage offers, and has it helped with
the cut down of time on entering in orders and updating releases.

Hi Tracy, Sam,



At General Sheet Metal we use the EDI module in Vantage.

It gives us an in bound 830 (JIT schedule 1500+ lines per week ) and out
bound 810 (invoice ) and 856 (advanced ship notice)

I think they work great. No data entry errors. It is fast.

I have done my own data conversion in Visual Basic and Access. This
gives me a handle on the data

for reporting purposes.

I recommend using Easy Link for your VAN. They offer data conversion.



Thanks,



John Mansfield

General Sheet Metal

Tracy,
We currently do not use the Vantage EDI but a customized (by our request and specs) to meet the needs of our buyer because there is a lack of flexibility in the current EDI module. There is a standard for EDI bar-coding that I believe is missing from Vantage (AIAG B10 and B14 guidelines) that would help greatly. I am looking into a company called E2B2 that is a Epicor Partner who specializes in EDI.

Finally! A topic I can sink my teeth into! My company is a small EDI
service provider that has had success working with Vantage users in
conjunction with the services of Misha 1. We're pulling data from the VAN
for Vantage customers, translating it into a file layout defined by Misha 1
and put it into our FTP server. Misha 1 does the Vantage work right down to
writing the FTP routine to pull or drop off data. So far its working
seamlessly and our customers are quite happy.

The biggest problem we have run into is the Ship To code problem. If you
have a trading partner who expects you to drop ship to their customer, you
face hundreds, if not thousands of ship to codes that must be set up before
you import data into the system. A headache we solve for the customer.

We are also all former SupplyTech/Harbinger employees from S.E. Michigan so,
we are proclaimed "experts" with automotive data. Combine this with a
web-EDI service for small customersor suppliers and we can offer a complete
EDI package for a company, servicing their trading partners as well as their
suppliers, to make your job easier.

You can contact Misha 1 at 1-866-464-7421 and myself at the contact info
below!

Tracy,
We currently do not use the Vantage EDI but a customized (by our
request and specs) to meet the needs of our buyer because there is a lack of
flexibility in the current EDI module. There is a standard for EDI
bar-coding that I believe is missing from Vantage (AIAG B10 and B14
guidelines) that would help greatly. I am looking into a company called E2B2
that is a Epicor Partner who specializes in EDI.

Well you bring up a good question. My shipping supervisor wants me to look
into using the Vantage EDI because she believes it will help us in the typo
mistakes that they face and get rid of key strokes with the entering of the
orders. I use a different software provider to get my releases then a data
entry person updates the releases in the Vantage system and also puts in new
orders. How do you like the EDI that Vantage offers, and has it helped with
the cut down of time on entering in orders and updating releases.

We are a major automotive supplier but have found that the EDI does not
match what our buyer request of us. Originally we set up EDI as a custom
program that has failed in all aspects to our business needs but met the
buyers requirements. I am re looking at this as our custom programming does
not allow for forecasting, real time shipping, or tracking. Does anyone have
any input or suggestions?

Hi Rich,

Yes that's what I did a long while ago.
Today I use Visual Basic and Access to do the same.
How familiar are you with VB?
Where will your inbound data come from?

Thanks,
