Import Purchase Orders (850, ORDERS)
Overview
Find out about Purchase Orders (850, ORDERS) and how to import them.
An electronic data interchange (EDI) workflow begins when you receive a Purchase Order (850, ORDERS) from your trading partner.
The Purchase Order contains most of the important information about an order, such as the products, quantities, and prices, the start and end of the delivery window, and the delivery address or addresses.
Import Purchase Orders
Log in to Cin7 Omni and open your trading partner’s integration dashboard from the Integrations menu in the navigation. New Purchase Orders are listed on the Ready For Import tile.
To import a Purchase Order, either:
Select Import beside the Purchase Order, or
Select Import All, which imports all messages pending import.
Once you import the Purchase Order, three things happen automatically:
The order is added to your EDI Dashboard. There you’ll process the order through your and your trading partner’s workflow.
At least one sales order is created and linked to the order (a linked sales order). A separate linked sales order is created for each store (ship to store, ship to DC), customer (dropship), or fulfillment center (Amazon Vendor) receiving goods in the Purchase Order.
The Functional Acknowledgement (997, CONTROL) of the Purchase Order is created, which you’ll see on the Ready For Export tile on your trading partner’s integration dashboard.
Immediately export the Functional Acknowledgement of the Purchase Order. You’ve exported that Functional Acknowledgement when the order says Acknowledged in the Purchase Order column on the EDI Dashboard.
Now continue processing the order (review the Purchase Order):
