RE: System 21 SOP EDI interface

Neil:
Nice hearing from you again. 
We receive 90% of our orders electronically from our mainframe. I receive
three files formatted as AIP50, AIP52, and AIP55. The program that FTP the
files over also calls the EDI upload program so the orders are created at
the same time (OEP40 and OEP55). Also Stock allocation is done automatically
as the orders are created.

This program also archives the original AIP files so we keep exposure after
the upload.

Good luck

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.
