ECLynx: EDI Turn-Around Solutions
This solution is fantastic for smaller EDI customers. This solution lets you comply with your partners EDI requirements but you don't have to invest in an integrated solution. Here is how it would work:
Receiving
Orders from your customers is simple. They send 850 or 875 EDI purchase
orders to your EDI Id that we will setup for you on the nuBridges EDI
Network (VAN). ECLynx runs every 10 mins to checks for and downloads all
the EDI orders in your EDI mailbox. It then translates the orders out
of EDI format and populates ECLynx's easy to use web interface which resembles
any email client you've used. Orders are marked in bold to indicate they
are new POs. You either view, print, download or email the orders and
then process them through your normal in-house accounting or order processing
system.
When
the goods are ready for shipping and invoicing, you follow all your normal
procedures except that rather than mailing or faxing invoices and advanced
ship notices, you log into ECLynx to prepare these documents. Simply locate
the PO # you've just filled, click the turnaround icon, and we'll populate
the online form with all the PO data. ECLynx will also prefill any invoice
or ship notice fields that can be defaulted including fields like Remit
to address, negotiated terms for the partner, a calculated due date, and
calculated shipping and handling fees. You will then key-punch any field
that is unique for the shipment, like Pro Reference #s and Shipment weights.
Finish things up by reviewing a report of the Invoice or Ship Notice and
hitting send. ECLynx handles the rest by translating the data into 810
or 880 EDI Invoices or 856 EDI Ship Notices and sending them to your partners
via the VAN.
