The Aramark EDI  import and export.

 

Access: entrée Add-Ons ribbon menu > Import/Export > Import Data or Export Data > opens the import or export utility > select Aramark EDI from the menu.  

 

This utility imports an EDI 850 Purchase Order from Aramark locations and converts it into an entrée invoice.

After the 850 PO is received, an EDI 997 Functional Acknowledgment is sent back to the FTP export directory, confirming that the order was received.

The EDI 855 Purchase Order Acknowledgment file will be uploaded to the FTP Export directory confirming quantities and prices for the receive PO.

Once the associated invoice has been printed, it should be exported using the Export utility with the Aramark EDI option selected. This will generate an EDI 810 Invoice.

Once the invoice has been exported no further edits to that invoice will be allowed.

This Export utility has an option to generate an item catalog file in CIF format containing the order guides and pricing for the Aramark locations.

Imports and Exports can be done manually or can be scheduled using the entrée Task Execution Application (TEA).
