EDI 855-are these set-up routinely

I notice we have never set-up any 855s in Lawson though we have them through GHX. What if any is the purpose of the 855 being set-up in the Transaction Table?

We see the information on GHX anyway.

Thanks

We use GHX also and do not set up the 855's because we can see the information in GHX. If you wanted to have that information available in Lawson then you could set them up and pull them in.

We set up the 855s because GHX is sending them (it's typically part of the 850 setup) and otherwise the inbound EDI runs have translation errors.

This isn't an issue, but IT gets desensitized to the inbound errors and then doesn't always realize there is a "real" issue in a timely manner.

So we set up the 855s and run the PO122s. A nice side effect is that the acknowledgement message appears in the PO Drill Around so the buyer knows without going to GHX that the vendor got the order.

Not sure if the pdf will attach (?) but this is what we do with GHX.

Nancy,

We are currently exploring 855 and have just started to process them. Materials Management has a process for confirming non-EDI POs in Lawson. Once 855 are processed in Lawson, we've created an LBI Report that allows Buyers to review all unconfirmed POs. Buyers have stated, having these in Lawson along with reporting will reduce the amount time spent on ensuring POs have been confirmed.

I agree with KatVila, these are already activate per 850 setups and having them in one place is nice.

Thanks for everyone's replies. We will start using and see how we like them.
