Implementation Steps
Most EDI syncs are one-way. Data is published by the vendor.
Determine which document types the vendor supports and that the customer wants. This typically includes:
Invoices
Product Guides
Set up an FTP account. Each account should be specific to a vendor/client. If the vendor can provide an FTP account, that is preferred. Otherwise Yellow Dog Software can provide an account. The following information is needed by YDI:
FTP address.
Username
Password
Folder(s) where data is stored.
The vendor should begin publishing data as soon as possible. This allows YDI to pull in item/invoice data before the "go live" date.
Configure and schedule the sync on the YDI server.
