PowerTrack and EDI

Hi Stephanie,



I would start with getting the layout of the 858 from your trading
partner.

Ask them what version of edi translation they are using ( ie. X12 2004 )

Ask them what software they are using, you may want to have the same

Translation software. Ask them, what are the critical data fields used?
This will

Help to simplify the setup. The standard has lots of fields that may not
be used by

Your trading partner.



Ask your trading partner about the ftp transfers, are they secured etc.



You will have to talk with Vantage Custom Programing to get a quote on
the code

Needed to create the 858.



This will get you started. Let me know what you find.



Thanks,



John Mansfield

John,

Thank you for your response. I am brand new at this EDI game and
have no clue where to start. I do know that I need to extract the
Bill of Lading information from Vantage and put into the 858 format,
then upload it to an ftp site. I don't know how to do this. Do I
need edi translation software or is it possible to run a query that
pulls that info then converts it?

Thanks,
Stephanie

Is anyone familiar with extracting info out of vantage for EDI? I
need to work with the standard set 858 (Shipment Info) which is not
part of the vantage EDI module. Is custom programming my only
option?

Thanks for your help,
Stephanie
Hi Stephanie,



I will try to help but I am limited to the version.

I have x12 documentation .

Let me know if I can help.

I do too export information into Access and create flat files that can be
imported into the EDI software you use to communicate to your customer. I
use Vantage EDI only to upload orders creating the 850 document (also using
Access). If you need any help on these, I could send you directly some info.

Mario,

I would really appreciate that information. Thank you.
Do you use the vantage export utility to get the info into access?

Thank you,
Stephanie
