Understanding Inbound Product Activity Data Transactions

Run the EDI Product Activity Data Edit/Create program (R47121) from the Product Activity Data menu to report inventory activity and to generate replacement orders for distribution centers, warehouses, or retail outlets.

Note: You must have the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Inventory Management, Sales Order Management, and Procurement systems to receive product activity data.

The receiver of the transaction typically maintains inventory levels on their computer for the sender of the transaction and plans when orders should be issued to replenish the sender's stock.

You can set up versions to run the EDI Product Activity Data Edit/Create program in either proof or final mode. In proof mode, the program edits and prints the transaction. In final mode, the program edits and prints the transaction, and then updates the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system tables. It also marks the EDI transaction as processed if no errors are detected. You should always run the program in proof mode first and then make corrections using the Revisions form. The program bypasses any records with errors, which eliminate the records from the netting process and reorder point check on the last record. Once you are satisfied with the results from the proof version, you can run the final version.

When you run EDI Product Activity Data Edit/Create for product activity data, the program can create:

• Audit reports

  List all the transactions that this program has processed, including inquiry type product activity data transactions.

• Error messages

  Sends a message to the employee message center if errors occur while running the EDI Product Activity Data Edit/Create program.
