RE: System 21 SOP EDI interface

Neil,

You could place a trigger on the AI EDI file that runs a program when a
record is added to the file.  This trigger program could execute the program
that takes the data into the order entry files.

You could do the 5 minute wakeup thingy if that makes more sense in your
environment.  One of the advantages of using the trigger is that the program
only runs when it needs to.

I believe, but could be mistaken, that one of the INBACK3 jobs processes the
automatic stock allocation for you.  If not, you could have the trigger
program call the necessary program to effect the allocation.

Subject: [SYSTEM21] System 21 SOP EDI interface


We are looking at writing a simple interface for taking Sales orders into
S21.  I believe this can be done by populating the AI EDI files and then
running a job to take that data into OEP40, 55 etc.

However, as we want to do "immediate" processing of received orders, I have
two questions;

1) can the job which takes the orders in be run from a batch job so it
executes say every 5 minutes - without a user having to do anything?

2) can this job be made to do automatic stock allocation?

Thanks in advance,

Neil.
