Setting UP EDI's V18 and back


  1. Set up the SFTP in Filezilla
    1. The ins and out folders are backwards In is the folder that we are sending documents to them, out are the documents they are sending to us.
  2. SPS converts everything into a standard XML file.
  3. Sync is where you create your connections to the FTP
  4. Actions are the different file types.
    1. Create new action
      1. Select document types
      2. Directory path is the folder location that we are either pulling from or pushing to. Example /testout
  5. Go to mappings > these are created when we create the actions. Are needed to process actions
    1. Click Create lines
    2. Click configure
    3. ONLY CLICK THESE ONCE. If you click them again it deletes any mappings that you have done and sets everything back to stock!!!
    4. Mapping files can be trading partner specific but there has to be at least one mapping that is blank, if you assign a partner to all it will create a new one that is blank. Different venders will use different mappings. 
  6. Go into the customer and set the trading partner ID on the contact.
    1. Go to the EDIT tab and set the different documents you want to do.
      1. When you set one of these fields be careful because any record that has the edi status as draft it will send all of those records. There is a server action to change the EDI status of do this is mass.

  7. Test
    1. When making a modification make 1 change, save, and then refresh.
