Understanding EDI for Outbound Inventory

As an alternative to manually receiving consumption information from the customer, you can set up the system to receive information electronically using EDI. When you process EDI transactions, you might use a trading partner and translator software to prepare the records for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne tables.

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Outbound Inventory Management system can process inbound electronic receipts for EDI Standard 852 (Product Activity Data - Inbound) transaction set.

Standard 852 is used where the receiver of the transaction (supplier) maintains inventory levels on their computer for the sender of the transaction (customer) and plans when orders should be issued to replenish the customer's stock.
