Hi,
We are trying to implement EDI. We got everything setup to send EDI messages to the customers on sales invoices (SLS).

We also want to generate and send EDI messages for invoices that are created in the TP (BaaN Project) module (session Print Invoices (tppin4474m000)) and TS (BaaN Service) module (session Print Service Order Invoices (tssma3473m000)). Looking at these sessions it does not look like they support EDI. Not sure if anyone know of a way to get these sessions to generate EDI message.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
NS

Is there patch from BaaN that anyone knows of to enable the Project (TP) and Service (TS) invoicing sessions for EDI?

Thanks,
NS

Hi,

In the 12 years that I have been working with tp and ts I have never seen anything dealing with EDI for these packages.
I guess the EDI functionality you are looking for in tp and ts is just not there.
In that case you will need another way of exposing the invoicing data out of tp and ts. There are lots of different ways and perhaps a customization via AFS function servers will be the simplest and cheapest solution for you.

Good luck.

Edwin

I think the easiest way is to create an extra report based on the invoicing sessions that create ascii files with all required fields for the message types you want to create (Edifact INVOIC ?) and then send these to a translator.

Edwin and Robert,
Thanks for getting back on this. I guess now I will start looking at customizing TP and TS invoicing modules to enable them for EDI.

Thanks,

Its the friendly advice..
Invoice is commercial document. While developing, think of the process for resending the same invoice data again if required.
