EDIFACT

[patk]

Hi

We are using E1 and going to implement EDI. The idea is that customers will send their data to our EDI service provider, who translates the data into EDIFACT format and send to us.

Have done some research and found out that JDE does not support any EDI formats. When we receive the EDIFACT data from our service provider, we will then need to format it into text file, and then run R57002C to import into F47011 and other files.

Does anyone do it in this way? Or are there any better ways?

Thanks
Patrick

Hi,
The way we do it is that we have an EDI-Translator software which format the EDIFACT data into a text file. Then, the software maps (using SQL scripts) the data into corresponding E1 tables according to mappings we created.
You then need to create one map per customer and per type of message. It also depends which type of file your customer want to send you: DELFOR=Purchase Forecast; ORDERS=Firm orders... .
Do not hesitate if I can help you further.

Dear Patk,
The EDI service provider have a translator software and they can map the original EDIFACT message segments to the flat file field by field, copy this file to the path I have set in the cross references. So E1 gets a standard JDE flat file to import. This way of use is valid for the file export.
