Inbound PO Ack Import (EI82)

The Build Inbound PO Acknowledgment (EI82) program imports Inbound PO Acknowledgments (855) from ProEDI into PointForce Enterprise for selected Trading Partners.

The following list outlines the steps involved in running EI82:

  1. The Trading Partner Selection screen opens. Select the Trading Partner with which you want to work and click OK.

  2. The following message automatically displays: "Do you want to start this update? Yes/No".

    • Select Yes to begin the update. EI82 imports the Inbound PO Acknowledgment(s) for the Trading Partner selected.

    • Select No and the update does not begin. EI82 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. EI82 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. EI82 also closes.

  5. While translating the EDI documents, Enterprise checks the inbound POs for duplicates 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. Call PointForce Inc. OK". Click OK to close the message window and EI82 also closes.

  6. When the import is complete, EI82 automatically closes.
