You can use the EDI purchase arrival journal to monitor the EDI purchase packing slip (ASN) information that you receive from a vendor.
You can use staging in your EDI process for packing slip information. Use a 'Purchase - XML to EDI purchase arrival' message to import the received purchase packing slip information into the EDI purchase arrival.
These EDI purchase arrivals are validated according to the applicable journal validation setup. If the applicable validation rules are:
Met, the EDI purchase arrival is automatically approved. Process the approved EDI purchase arrivals by a 'Purchase - EDI purchase arrival to Item arrival' message batch.
Not met, an error or warning is given. Before the EDI purchase arrival can be processed further, review the errors and warnings, and take appropriate actions.
