EDI
(Electronic Data Interchange)
Minotaur is EDI ready. When using
EDI with customers, incoming purchase orders are validated, then
loaded directly as sales orders. Validation ensures that any new ship to
locations are identified and price
differences or item discrepancies
are caught before the order is prepared and shipped.
Outgoing documents can be transmitted as required. Each document
is mapped by Minotaur to meet
your partner’s requirements. All you
need is an online VAN (Value Added Network) account to drop off
and pick up documents for your
partners. (Similar to Canada’s epost for consumer electronic mail)
Functional acknowledgements (FA)
can be generated. Outgoing documents are built automatically
from the corresponding Minotaur
document, avoiding double entry
(i.e. EDI invoice created automatically when regular Minotaur invoicing screens are used for an EDI customer).
EDI can be used to exchange information with your customers, copackers, third party storage suppliers or between your own operating
companies. EDI is being used more
and more to communicate between supply chain partners, reducing data entry errors for everyone.
