Procedure:-

  1. Click on the File Name look up to bring up the required Import file (obviously this must be accessible by Minder on your server / Sharepoint)

  2. Now Click on Validate.

    1. Vailidate does exactly that, it checks for correct header codes S

  3. Upon a successful validate, you proceed to click on ‘Import.’

    1. This now checks Stock Availability and that the Line Item price presented matches with the rules set within Minder for that Debtor (Contract pricing, Bonus items etc) Any mismatch in pricing, or issues with availability are flagged to you at this point.

  4. Click on Create S/O. This, strangely, creates the Sales Order.


Notes

A browse of all imported fields is accessed from the EDI Imported Log two down from Sales Order Entry in the menu drop-down. You can create sales orders from here if imported but not created due to resolving issues. Likewise, an import file can be lapsed (if no s/o created) and imported again.

  • Bonus Stock.

    • Cannot be a route/kit

    • If parent item is back-ordered then so is its bonus child

  • Transfers

    • If there is no free stock of components a transfer back-order is not written to avoid it sitting around without action.

  • Archive

    • Imported files are archived to c:\mbs\companyname\archive\xxx (a field setting).
