Standardized workflows

EDI4STEEL currently has a recommendation for a standard workflow of the following messages. These are shown in the accompanying image. Click on it to enlarge.

Order
Order confirmation
Despatch advice
Certificate
Invoice

Depending on whether the EDI4STEEL user is a customer, supplier or both, the necessary processes can be implemented in the ERP system.

There is more information on the workflow for an order and a confirmation between a customer and a supplier.

Unlike an order and the corresponding order confirmation, a despatch advice, certificate or invoice is sent only once and the chance that the document still needs to be changed is minimal. EDI4STEEL assumes that in the exceptional case that a change to a despatch advice, certificate or invoice is still required, the client or supplier will contact the other party in a manner other than via EDI4STEEL. The changes discussed will then be adjusted manually by both parties in their own ERP systems.

If you are interested in a standard workflow of other messages in EDI4STEEL, please contact us.
