EDI order processing involves the basic steps needed to process a purchase order which is a part and parcel of almost every retail/manufacturing document transmission. The steps are:

1)  An EDI 850 Purchase Order is received and accepted by a seller

2) An EDI 855 Purchase Order Acknowledgment is sent to the trading partner to confirm EDI 850 was received from the seller

3) An EDI 856 Advanced Shipping Notice (ASN) is generated and sent by the seller describing the contents of each shipment.

4) An EDI 810 Invoice is created and sent to the trading partner

EDI Order Processing Automation is the process of making these above steps run in an automatic manner vs hand keying the information one by one which can be cumbersome and time consuming. The whole idea of EDI being an efficient business strategy is lost.

If you are automating your EDI order processing then, there should be a free flow of information from your ERP to your EDI software for outgoing documents and back from your EDI software to your ERP.

For e.g. an EDI 810 being sent from your accounting software after the conversion from its internal file format to the trading partner via your EDI software and vice versa for incoming documents like EDI 850.

When looking for an EDI solution, think big picture and understand which internal and external procsses you can automate to free up time for your staff and focus more on revenue generation vs manually entering data.

Top things to keep in mind when selecting an EDI Software Service Provider with automation capabilities:

1. Being able to accommodate both file-based and API integration and automation is important when your company is planning to scale up.

2.  Companies are moving towards cloud-based solution which is great but it also depends on what kind of back-end system you have (cloud based or an on-premise solution). An EDI software should fit into your existing infrastructure and should be an extension to it versus a system that you cannot integrate with and need special expertise.

3. Having an agile and flexible EDI solution that scales up with you as your volume of transactions grow.

4. A strong customer service and talented project team that is available timely to support any disruption that happens during the EDI implementation process.

You need to set clear goals and business objectives in order to determine how EDI automation can make your life easier by reducing repetitive tasks, manual data entry and making your overall processes lean and effective
