Overview -- What is Electronic Order Processing (EDI)? EOP / EDI is the exchange of business data from one organization's computer application to the computer application of a trading partner. EDI uses specific standards of data format for electronic documents making the exchange of business data between computers possible allowing a machine-to-machine communication. What does this mean to me? The Automotive Distribution Network has partnered with Corcentric to implement an electronic order processing (EDI) solution for our members and suppliers. The project includes exchanging purchase orders, acknowledgements, advanced shipment notices and invoices electronically between Network members and suppliers. Electronic order processing
How it works…. • We are building a central solution that leverages the Network's PartShare and Corcentric’s OneConnect to add the information needed to complete electronic documents for distributors and suppliers whose systems are not capable of sending standard EDI documents, allowing all to participate. • Our one-to-many solution allows you to connect to all of the Network Members through one portal. There are no charges for acknowledgements or stock checks. For EDI, there are no charges to connect, no per document setup fees, no per customer setup fees or per user fees. You’ll pay NIS a simple flat rate of 38 cents per document exchanged (or 75 cents per order and 2.5 cents per line item) Electronic order processing 38 Cents per document. There are no additional fees. Special orders handled as any other order, no extra charges. Pay NOTHING until you receive orders through the system. Then only for the orders you receive. That’s less than it cost just to receive a purchase order from other electronic order providers. It eliminates paper and postage cost from billing, and saves labor. Sign me up!
Benefits of a centralized solution: • Cost savings from significantly reducing usage of envelopes, postage, paper, and handling invoices manually. • The cost to set up and connect your company and your customers is greatly reduced because you connect one time for all Network members. No setup fees • Internet Parts Ordering - With PartShare we will provide a single website for special orders from Members/Distributors to all connected suppliers (2013). • Providing a single website for distributors to use for placing special orders with suppliers. • The cost savings for IPO compared to phone orders is substantial, and we’ll include this service with PartShare. The same 38 cents per document charge applies. • It provides the means for centralized billing by suppliers to members, further reducing costs in the future. • Reporting solutions will provide summary, historical and transaction activity by member, by group, by regions and for specific time periods. • The analytic capabilities will be extended to suppliers. No per-user fee or additional monthly support fee for your company to use the analytics tool. Electronic order processing
Getting Started • Our production phase is in process and to date over 10,000 transactions have been exchanged between Network members and their suppliers. • Complete and return to NIS the Enrollment Form so we can setup your contact information and get you started with EOP/EDI. • Testing begins after we have exchanged EDI setup parameters and you have completed any needed administration on your system. You’ll only have to do this once to connect with all the Network members. • We will work with you and the Members/Distributors to coordinate testing, the cutover to production EDI POs, and turning off paper invoices. • Production EDI data exchanges are fully automated and are conducted 24/7. • EDI traffic will be monitored automatically and email alerts will be sent to you of any EDI data or format issues as soon as they happen. Electronic order processing Fueled by NIS EDI solutions!!!
Most common questions asked: • How many members will participate? • What does this cost the suppliers? • What if I’m using the “other guy”? • Will reports be available? (Transaction activity by member, summary and history reports by member) • How do I sign up promptly, presto, pronto, chop-chop?
