Monitor EDI inventory order journal

Use the EDI inventory order staging journal to monitor the EDI inventory orders. If you use EDI inventory order staging, custom messages are required.

You can, for example, use staging in your EDI process for picking list registrations or product receipts. You can use these messages to import the received information into the EDI inventory order journal:
  • 'XML picking list registration to EDI inventory order'.
  • 'XML product receipt to EDI inventory order'.
The EDI inventory orders are validated according to the applicable journal validation setup. If the applicable validation rules are:
  • Met, the EDI inventory order is automatically approved. An approved EDI inventory order is processed by the applicable custom message. For example: 'EDI inventory order to picking list registration' or 'EDI inventory order to product receipt'.
  • Not met, an error or warning is given. Before the EDI inventory order can be processed further, review the errors and warnings, and take appropriate actions.
