Use Document Import (35.1) to import EDI self-bills into the system with EDI eCommerce. This function loads self-bill information from an EDI file and processes it to create a self-bill document in your QAD database.

During import, the system tries to associate incoming electronic self-bill data with invoice data. Once loaded into your database, the information can be manually modified using Self-Bill Maintenance. See Matching Adjustment Self-Bill Lines.

EDI self-bill lines should always be associated with an Enterprise Edition invoice number. However, the system may not be able to make this association for some self-bill lines due to incorrect or incomplete information in the EDI file. These problems are reported in the EDI load report produced during import.

Lines that the import process cannot associate are tagged as adjustment entry lines. You can manually associate adjustment self-bill lines to the correct invoice in Self-Bill Maintenance.
