If you're new to the Acumatica Integration with Transaction Manager it can be helpful to have a basic overview of which Transactions/Documents between Transaction Manager and Acumatica correspond to each other.

Since various Transactions within Transaction Manager can have different purposes with the same Document in Acumatica this article is a good place to start to understanding the processes.


Sales Orders


A Sales Order within Acumatica represents an order placed by one of your Trading Partner requesting goods and services.

Inbound - Purchase Order (850/875)


An inbound Purchase Order (850) or Grocery Products Purchase Order (875) represents an order for requesting the purchasing of goods and services from your Trading Partner.

These EDI Transactions can be used to automatically create Sales Orders (or Quotes) within Acumatica during an Export from Transaction Manager.

Outbound - Purchase Order Acknowledgement (855)


An outbound Purchase Order Acknowledgement (855) is a confirmation slip being sent back to your Trading Partner providing details on whether the original Purchase Order (855/875) was accepted or rejected.

This EDI Transaction is generated upon Importing the Sales Order from Acumatica back into Transaction Manager after it has been reviewed, and any adjustments may of been made to the original order request.

Outbound - Warehouse Shipping Order (940)


An outbound Warehouse Shipping Order (940) is a copy of the original Purchase Order sent by your Trading Partner that is passed along to your Warehouse or Third-Party Logistics (3PL) company so that they may fulfill the order on your behalf. Acting as a Carbon Copy of your original order.

This EDI Transaction is generated upon Importing a Sales Order from Acumatica that has a proper Warehouse Location configured within Transaction Manager


Invoices


An Invoice acts as the official bill you will be sending to your Trading Partner in response to accepting the original Purchase Order listing out the final price for the items sold.

A Shipment is a document that records information regarding when the physical items of an order were sent out for delivery, providing key information regarding tracking, quantity, and estimated delivery dates.

Integration Type

  • Sales Order Process

An Advance Ship Notice (856) is the shipment record sent to your Trading Partner notifying them of delivery details, such as tracking #s, estimated delivery dates, quantities, and the structure in which that shipment was sent (such as SOI, SOPI, and SOTPI).

This EDI Transaction is generated upon Importing a Shipment from Acumatica

Outbound - Warehouse Shipping Order (940)


If a Shipment is generated prior to being sent to your Warehouse/3PL - it can be used to alternatively generate the Warehouse Shipping Order (940) instead of the more-typical generation from the Sales Order.

This EDI Transaction is generated upon Importing a Shipment when configured as an alternative option.

Inbound - Warehouse Shipping Advice (945)


A Warehouse Shipping Advice (945) is similar to that of an Advance Ship Notice, however it's provided by your Warehouse/3PL to you rather than your Trading Partner providing you with the information on how they've provided the shipment on your behalf.

Exporting a Warehouse Shipping Advice from Transaction Manager will automatically either Create, or Update a Shipment within Acumatica as well as updating your Sales Order as needed.
