EDI - How to proceed
Now that you are acquainted with our XML files for the purchase order, order confirmation, delivery confirmation and invoice, we would like to show you the next steps for using EDI:
- We need a complete request from you and an approximate time as of which you want to use EDI. This helps us to plan the connections.
- We will create an SFTP account for you and send you the access data.
- You create your first XML order, validate it with the XSD files and make sure that you set the test flag in the XML to 1. You then upload the test order to the /ediinput folder on the SFTP. Test orders do not result in physical delivery and there are no obligations connected to any documents created during the test phase.
- Please inform us by email (Software-Integration@competec.ch) that a test order is available.
- We will check the XML order and try to process it in our test system. If everything has worked successfully, we can generate the three document files (Order confirmation - OR, Delivery confirmation - DN and Invoice - IV) and make them available to you in the /edioutput folder on the SFTP.
- You can then download the files from the SFTP and use them in your system.
- You give us feedback as to when we can end the test phase and switch processing to live operation. From then on, you no longer use the test flag and we will process your purchase orders in the regular ordering process.
