Outgoing Process Flow
Supplier schedules allow you to manage the relationships with suppliers to whom you transmit period-oriented demand with statements called releases.
• Releases are typically sent using EDI or eCommerce
• Releases can be sent by fax or a printed release
With EDI eCommerce:
• Release information is taken from the QAD Enterprise Applications supplier schedules
• Mapped through the QAD Enterprise Applications gateway programs into EDI eCommerce readable messages
• EDI-enabling software is used to export the releases to a supplier’s computer or electronic mailbox
• Each supplier may have their own EDI requirements and signal standards
• Handled by the EDI-enabling software after the information is passed from QAD Enterprise Applications
Without EDI eCommerce:
• Schedule releases can be printed and faxed, or a fax server used for transmission
• Can be printed and sent
