On a Flxpoint Standard EDI connection, Flxpoint reads 846, 855, 856, 810, 870 and 997 and sends 850 and 997. The 832 is read only by integrations built for it: a Standard EDI connection rejects a file that contains one. Any other transaction set, such as the 860, is not processed.
Transactions
Invoice
Invoice for shipped orders. Must match the 850 PO in item, quantity, and price to avoid disputes.
Price/Sales Catalog
Price and product catalog import, read only by integrations built for it (not by a Standard EDI connection).
Inventory Advice
Real-time inventory availability updates. Keep stock counts accurate across all retailer channels.
Purchase Order
Purchase orders generated when a retailer places an order. Contains items, quantities, and ship-to addresses.
Purchase Order Acknowledgement
Acknowledge each purchase order line-by-line. Confirm quantities, flag out-of-stock items, or reject lines.
Advance Ship Notice
Advance Ship Notice with carrier, tracking number, and packed items. Must be sent before physical shipment.
Order Status Report
Order status report — used to cancel items the supplier cannot fulfill (ISR status IC only).
