Entering Additional EDI Ship Via Information

On outgoing EDI 850 Purchase Order documents, some vendors require that you cross-reference system ship vias to their user-defined codes or standard ANSI transportation type codes.

Use the EDI Ship Via Maintenance screen to specify the ship via information required by the EDI trading partner vendor.

 Important: EDI Support must customize the mapper to use this ship via information.

To enter additional ship via information:

  1. Display the record for a trading partner on the EDI Trading Partner Profile Maintenance screen.

Note: If prompted, log on to the character-based system.

  1. Use the Edit Tables hot key and select Ship-Vias to display the EDI Ship-Via Maintenance screen.

The Eclipse Ship Via column displays all the ship vias defined for your system.

  1. If your trading partner requires a specified code when a designated ship via is assigned to a purchase order, use the TP Code hot key to enter or edit the code in the TP Ship Via field.

This code is included in 850 Purchase Order documents with the designated ship via for this trading partner in data element TD505.

  1. If your trading partner requires the ANSI code for the transportation type when a designated ship via is assigned to a purchase order, use the X12 Transport hot key to select the transportation type code.

This code is included in 850 Purchase Order documents with the designated ship via for this trading partner in data element TD504.

Note: The options displayed for the X12 Transport hot key are determined by the ISA Version number used by this trading partner. The system displays the ISA version number next to the VerRel hot key. Use this hot key, if needed, to change the version number.

  1. Press Esc to exit this screen and return to the EDI Trading Partner Profile Maintenance screen.
