The 820B Purchasing Activity Report is a non-standard EDI document that represents purchasing activity over a specified period, such as year-to-date. The report shares information with a WIT vendor about the items you have purchased from them. The vendor uses this information to determine the year-end rebate to which you are entitled.
Note: This report is available if you have purchased the Solar Eclipse Interface for Use with WIT.
To send an 820B purchasing activity report:
From the System > System Programming > EDI > EDI Generate Reports menu, select WIT-NET Purchasing Activity Report to display the EDI 820B Purchasing Summary for WIT-NET screen.
Note: If prompted, log on to the character-based system.
In the Start Date field, enter the first day of the year. For example, enter 01/01/YR.
In the End Date field, enter the current date. For example, enter MO/DA/YR.
Do one of the following to run the report:
Use the Generate hot key to run the report now.
Use the Schedule hot key to schedule the report to run at another time.
The system generates purchase activity reports for each WIT vendor and places them in the EDI Outgoing Status Queue. The system transmits the reports to WIT during the next scheduled WIT-NET transmission.
Note: In the EDI Outgoing Status Queue, you can identify a purchase activity report by the number 845 in the Doc column and 820B-Ven#nnnnn in the Reference ID column.
The system sends a message to the user set up as the EDI administrator, similar to the following example:
To EDI ADMINISTRATION: 3 WIT-NET 820B Purchasing Summary Report Document(s) created for period: 01/01/2004 to 12/31/2004. They will be sent during the next WIT-NET transmission.
