Installing Global 3000 EDI is a complex task as it involves:
§ Selecting and obtaining networking software and hardware (which is not part of the Global 3000 product).
§ Configuring the networking software and hardware and the Global 3000 EDI module to work together. Both need to be able to accept the order formats your EDI customers and suppliers use (which might be different for each customer and supplier).
§ Testing the system.
Note |
Contact your software supplier for details of network software which interfaces with Global 3000 EDI. |
To set up Global 3000 EDI you need to:
§ Install and set up a suitable third-party product to handle communications with a VAN (Value Added Network) on the host PC or Unix system.
§ Configure the networking software. The supplier of the networking software may be able to provide you with parameter files to simplify data mapping etc.
§ Set up the EDI system parameters.
§ Define translation tables and associate them with customers and suppliers.
§ Set up scenarios to control the import and export of data. For full details see Scenario Maintenance.
§ Test the system.
