EDI 3PL Documents - Product master
The following subsections will describe how to view, process and send applicable Product data to 3PL Trading partner(s).
Viewing the Staging table records will also be discussed.
The following setup is prerequisites for the 3PL document:
EDI > Setup > Document types: Product master
EDI > Setup > Trading partners
Since not all the products in the legal entity might apply to the 3PL warehouse, the following setup is required to indicate each product (and each variant where applicable) that applies to the warehouse.
Only products that are flagged as active for the warehouse will be included in the change tracking.
The setup can be added via:
Field | Description |
---|---|
Item number | Automatically populated with selected item number |
Variant number | Where applicable select the variant number |
Configuration | Automatically populated when selecting variant number |
Size | Automatically populated when selecting variant number |
Color | Automatically populated when selecting variant number |
Style | Automatically populated when selecting variant number |
Unit | Populated with Inventory unit when record is created via Periodic task ‘Product configuration update’. Can manually create new lines for additional units |
Unit conversion | Unit conversion between Unit and Inventory unit (display method) |
Inventory unit | Inventory unit for the item number (display method) |
Site | Select the applicable site |
Warehouse | Select the applicable warehouse. This needs to match to the 3PL warehouse trading partner |
Active | By default this will be set to Yes. If changed to No, this line will be ignored in change tracking. |
The following periodic task can also be used to automatically add the product setup.
If inventory transactions exist for the product/warehouse combination and the product setup doesn’t exist, this task will create the product setup.
Note: If a product was incorrectly transacted on the 3PL warehouse, the inventory transaction will still result in a record for the product/warehouse combination in 3PL product setup. Instead of deleting the line, set Active to No and it will be excluded in future staging records to the warehouse.
Product setup for all item numbers and all warehouses can be viewed at EDI > Inquiries and reports > EDI 3PL product setup.
The inquiries form can also be used to add records.
Master data documents are created by enabling change tracking on the trading partner’s outgoing document(s).
The document change tracking’s Full can be set to Yes, in order to send all the records for the tracked table.
Once the staging record has been created for the full version, the Document change tracking’s Full field will automatically update to No in order to send changes with the next batch run.
Document change tracking’s Update version is also updated each time a staging record is created. Only changes after the Update version are added in the staging record.
If required to send full set of data again, the trading partner’s document change tracking’s Full can be set to Yes again.
Various tables are tracked for the Product master document.
If additional fields are added as client extension ensure that change tracking is enabled for the entity if the field isn’t included in the currently tracked tables.
