Requirements/preparation

Both parties must agree on a mutual EDI partner in ADMIN. This EDI partner is entered in the basic data. The Email can be filled with logins of the employees of the receiving party that will receive a notification in case of a new order. 

All other settings are pre-assigned with default values as per CargoSoft installation. All required registry keys are added, and registries for the data transfer as well as for the logfiles created by CargoCom are generated autonomously.

Data entry - Sender

The data transfer includes the header data of the order as well as the tabs Transport, Addresses, Statistic, Goods description with container and dimensions and the Account sheet.

Send CargoSoft data

Open the CargoSoft file that you would like to send.
In the File menu select Export → XML to Partner.
The following CargoSoft mask appears:

Open

Enter the recipient of the data in the EDI partner field. Double click to open a mask to search for EDI partners. Also make sure that the Send checkbox is activated. 

Save by clicking on the icon or via File → Save. The order is now sent to your selected EDI partner.

To send the order to more than one EDI partner, add additional lines with the context menu item Add line or press the Tab key to jump forward until a new line appears. Close the mask after you have made all required entries.

Data reception - Recipient

The recipient usually sees all transferred data the way they were sent. However, some data may vary due to codes transferred by the sender, e.g. order types, address numbers, etc. If implemented, code conversions convert the data before the import.

Code conversion

The data transferred by the sender can be converted into your own codes. This requires entries in the basic data ADMIN → EDI → EDI code conversions in ADMIN. 

Codes must be entered as follows:

Conversions can be made for the following sectors/tables:

The service/activity types provide an extended conversion. Values can be entered separately for export and import by using the tables LART_TI or LART_TE.
If the application cannot find a result for the entry that you would like to convert, the conversion is made with entry LART_T  instead.

Account sheet

The conversion of the account sheet constitutes an exception. Data sent by the sender are converted from the output side to the input side (and vice versa) in consideration of two addresses, which are entered directly in the EDI partner.

Entry of addresses at basic data ADMIN → EDI → EDI-Partner on the Addresses tab.

Address of the sender with EDI-CODE       SPKTOPOIN
Address of the recipient                              SPKTOPOOUT

Open

Control possibilities

Order → EDI-Tab

Both sender and recipient receive an entry in the EDI table with send and receive date after the successful transfer/import of data.

As a file can be transferred/read multiple times, this tab displays a corresponding number of entries.

CargoCom

The CargoCom application works in the background, extracting data from the database and making them available as an XML file. Here you can set the frequency in which the application is to search for and process new data.
