Inbound SO Import (EI22)

The following list outlines the steps involved in running EI22:

1. When you select EI22, the Select a list of Trading Partners screen automatically opens. There are two folders available:
   1. Module Trading Partners
   2. Networks

   You can select trading partners from any folder or you can select the Process All check box in the upper right hand corner of the screen and ALL Inbound POs (850I) for trading partners set up with a module '850I' in Trading Partner Modules (EI03) are imported from ProEDI into PointForce Enterprise.

   1. On the Module Trading Partner folder, only trading partners with a module of '850I' set up in EI03 display in the list. Highlight the appropriate trading partner from the list and click Submit.

   2. On the Networks folder, highlight a Network from the list and then click Submit. EI22 checks all trading partners set up with:
      • the selected Network in Trading Partners (ibis_ei01)
        AND
      • the module '850I' in EI03.

2. Once you click Submit on the 'Select a list of Trading Partners' screen, the following message displays: "Do you want to start this update? Yes/No".
   • Select Yes to begin the update. EI22 imports the Inbound PO(s) for the trading partner(s) meeting the criteria selected.

   • Select No and the update does not begin. EI22 automatically closes.

3. If there are no files, the following message displays: "Starting Enterprise import file creation. There is no Enterprise import file to process! OK". Click OK to close the message window.

   Another window opens and displays the following message: "No EDI Batch To Process for Trading Partner. OK". Click OK to close the message window. EI22 also closes.

4. If an existing file from a prior update exists, the following message displays: "The inbound sales file already exists for Trading Partner. OK". Click OK to close the message window. EI22 also closes.

5. While translating the EDI documents, the system checks the inbound POs already processed and issues a warning if the trading partner sends the same Purchase Order more than once. The following message displays: "The P.O. ####### already exists in the PO History file for Trading Partner. Would you like to continue processing anyway? Yes/No".
   • Select Yes to accept the PO.

   • Select No to go to the next PO.

6. While translating the EDI documents, the system also checks the inbound POs for duplicates. When a duplicate is found, the following message displays: "The PO ###### already exists in the inbound sales file for ######. EI25 will put the original order on hold and the duplicate will be skipped. The sales order will need to be deleted if the duplicate copy needs to be brought through EI22 again. Please check the PO in PROEDI or contact the trading partner to ensure you process the correct copy of the PO. Contact PointForce Enterprise support if you require assistance."

7. When the import is complete, EI22 automatically closes.
