EDI Processing

This article walks through the system-based EDI processes that are addressed within 3PL Warehouse Manager. Use of these steps should only occur after your EDI connection is integrated with the system.

To ensure correct data processing, we recommend using the following order of processing, in which each step links to the relevant instructions.

  1. Set up FTP email notifications
  2. Send receipt advice
  3. Create batches of orders
  4. Print packing slips
  5. Print Bills of Lading and (if needed) Master Bill of Lading
  6. Print labels with SmartParcel
  7. Print UCC labels
  8. Close orders
  9. Send the ASN
  10. If needed, use the customer error log

3PL Warehouse Manager checks your FTP and EDI connections for new order and receipt files every 15 minutes. Files don’t import as soon as they’re uploaded. They’re picked up in the next import cycle, so new orders and receipts can take a few minutes to appear in the system.
