EDI Batch Processing (EI33)

The EDI Batch Processing (ibis_ei33) program processes all documents for the trading partner modules flagged as 'Available in EI33' in the Trading Partner Modules (ibis_ei03) program. The following list identifies the documents that are processed:

  • Inbound documents from EI49

    • When the system processes the inbound report (812, 816, 830, 820, 824, 860, 864), a PDF document is created in the EDI/Reports directory on your server.

  • Inbound orders from EI22, EI23, EI25 and EI26

    • When the system processes the inbound orders (850), the EI26 Audit report is created as a PDF in the EDI/Reports folder on your server.

  • Outbound PO Acknowledgments EI34, EI35, EI36 and EI37.

    • When the system processes the outbound PO acknowledgments (855), the EI36 report is created as a PDF in the EDI/Reports folder on your server.

  • Download and Upload EDI documents from EI20

    • When the system processes the download and upload documents, a text file is created in the EDI/EI33logs folder on your server and an email is generated and sent to the email address setup in CC00/EDI.

  • Outbound Documents from EI60

    • When EI33 processes the outbound documents (850, 810, 940), they are all exported to ProEDI.

  • Import Inbound Warehouse Ship Advices from EI70 and EI71

    • When the system processes the inbound warehouse ship advices (945), the EI71 report is created as a PDF in the EDI/reports folder on your server.

    • Depending on your set up in CC00/EDI, invoices and ASNs (856) can be created for trading partners when EI33 runs; i.e. the CC00/EDI Auto Generate Invoice field must be set to Always Invoice or ASN Acknowledged.

If any issues arise during the processing of EI33, a detailed email is sent to the email address found EI33 setup in CC00/EDI.

The following list defines every field in EI33:

  • Process Start Time – defaults to the start time entered in CC00/EDI. Indicates the time that EI33 will start processing transactions.

  • Process End Time – defaults to the end time entered in CC00/EDI. Indicates the time that EI33 will end the batch processing cycle.

  • Cycling Interval in Hours – defaults to the interval cycle entered in CC00/EDI. Indicates the interval at which EI33 will process the next batch of transactions.

  • Notification Email Address – defaults to the notification email address(s) entered in CC00/EDI. If EI33 encounters any errors, an error notification email will be sent to the addresses entered in this field.

  • In the Time section:

    • Current – when EI33 is running, displays the current date and time.

    • Next Cycle – when EI33 is running, displays the date and type the next cycle will run.

  • The Currently Processing section displays the documents currently being processed.

  • The Notifications section displays any issues that arise.
