The system can create and send an EDI 857 Advance Ship Notice and invoice from the Shipping Manifest Queue immediately after the manifest is created. Use activity triggers to set up this process. You can also manually send an 857 by setting the Print field on the Status tab of the invoiced order generation to EDI. If the 857 outbound document is not defined in the trading partner profile for the customer, E is not an available option in the Prt field on the Status screen.
Before you can send an 857, set up the system as follows:
Create a trading partner profile for which an 857 outbound document is defined.
Assign the customer to whom you want to send the invoice to this profile.
To set up activity triggers on the customer's Activity Trigger Maintenance window, do the following:
In the Trigger Description column, select the Manifest Lock trigger description.
In the Activity Description column, select one of the following:
EDI Adv Shipping Notification - The system sends an EDI document for each order on a given stop.
EDI Single Adv Shipping Not - The system sends one EDI document for all orders on a given stop. It sends a document for the first order and skips the other orders.
From the File menu, select Activity Properties and then select the 857 document type.
