EDI Bridge in practice

A distributor supplies retail customers that exchange orders and sales documents through an EDI operator. When an ORDERS message arrives, EDI Bridge imports it into Business Central and creates a sales order. The sales team can check the order and continue processing it without entering the same customer request again.

As the order moves through fulfilment, shipment information from Business Central is used to prepare a DESADV delivery advice. The team can then send the invoice as an INVOIC message. If a correction is needed, a sales credit memo can also be sent through the integration.

The connection and document setup are configured for the operator and trading partners involved. Incoming orders and outgoing delivery and billing documents follow the sales process in Business Central, reducing repeated data entry across these steps. The team has more time to deal with questions about quantities, delivery dates and customer requirements.
