Understanding the Copy to Outbound EDI Files Program

After you run the automatic payment process, you must copy the payment transactions from the EDI worktables to the EDI interface tables to make them available to the translator software.

The Copy to Outbound EDI Files program copies payment transactions to the following EDI payment interface tables:

  • F47056 - EDI Payment Order Header - Outbound.

  • F470561 - EDI Payment Order Bank N & A - Outbound.

  • F470562 - EDI Payment Order Vendor N & A - Outbound.

  • F470563 - EDI Payment Order Payee N & A - Outbound.

  • F47057 - EDI Payment Order Remittance Advice - Outbound.

    Important: The sections of the report use data from various files. When you run the Copy to Outbound EDI Files program, the data selection should include only those fields that are common to all of the tables listed specified. Otherwise, your report might print results that do not include all of the data that you selected.

As the system copies the payment transactions to the EDI payment interface tables, it marks the corresponding transaction in the EDI worktables as processed by updating the Processed (Y/N) field (EDSP) to Y. This prevents the system from copying previously processed records.
