PO Ack & Reverse PO Transmission (EI37)

The Create PO Ack/Rev PO (EI37) program exports the batch of valid documents as created in 'Print PO Ack/Reverse PO' (EI36). The batch is exported into ProEDI. A transmission file is created for any un-transmitted transactions (855s only) for Trading Partner(s) in ProEDI. The program for the Trading Partner's corresponding VAN (set up in 'Trading Partner' (EI01)) is used to transmit the document(s) to the VAN (Value Added Network).

The following list outlines the steps involved in running EI37:

  1. When you select EI37, the Select a list of Trading Partners screen automatically opens. There are three folders available:

    1. Networks
    2. Trading Partners
    3. Module Trading Partners

    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 Outbound POs (855O) for Trading Partners set up with a Module '855O' in Trading Partner Modules (EI03) are imported into ProEDI from Enterprise.

    1. On the Networks folder, highlight a Network from the list and then click Submit. EI37 checks all Trading Partners set up with:

      • the selected Network in Trading Partners (EI01)
        AND
      • the Module '855O' in EI03

    2. On the Trading Partners folder, all Trading Partners entered in EI01 display in the list. Only Trading Partners with a Module '855O' set up in EI03 are valid selections.

      • Highlight a Trading Partner from the list and click Submit.

    3. On the Module Trading Partner folder, only Trading Partners with a Module of '855O' set up in EI03 display in the list. Highlight the appropriate Trading Partner from the list and click Submit.

  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 No and the update does not begin. EI37 automatically closes.

    • Select Yes to begin the update. Note: The update exports the Reverse POs from PFE to ProEDI for the trading partner’s meeting the criteria selected, and the system automatically checks for acknowledgements received on previous POs sent from the current trading partner.

  3. When the export is complete, EI37 automatically closes.
