EDI Manager WizardEDI Manager WizardEDI (Electronic Data Interchange) is a separately purchased module that allows libraries to communicate with vendors to transfer ordering, invoicing, or subscription information between computers. EDI places information from one computer to another, making it different from electronic mail or sharing files on a network. Although EDI requires a specified data structure for each document, you and your vendors can have quite different processing systems and still gain the advantages of EDI.
The EDI Manager wizard keeps track of the transactions sent and the functional response received after the vendor acknowledges the receipt of the sent transaction.
X12 transactions to be extracted from a SirsiDynix Symphony database record include the following.
| • | Serials claim transactions (869 Order Status Inquiry) |
| • | Book and serials purchase orders (850 Purchase Order) |
X12 transactions to be received from vendors include the following.
| • | Functional acknowledgment (vendor’s signal that transaction set has been received) |
| • | Serials claim response (870 Order Status Report) |
| • | Book and serials invoices (810 Invoice) |
Some of the responses may require that data be extracted and processed to update a SirsiDynix Symphony database record, such as the claim response code.
When the EDI Manager wizard starts, the following tabs appear. Select any of the following links to view directions for using each tab.
