EDI
An increasing number of large companies use EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) as a standard way of transacting with their suppliers. This is especially so in the retail sector. In many cases they even make the use of EDI compulsory.
However, a number of the suppliers are small to medium sized organisations for whom Sage or Access Accounting are appropriate financial management systems. Yet these software packages don’t have an EDI capability as standard. In the past this has meant manual re-keying which wastes resources and risk data corruption.
To solve this problem Dayta Designs has engineered EDI-Link - a software tool that interfaces between Sage and Access Accounting systems and the EDI manager software of leading application providers such as Kewill and Wesupply. The data flow between the various systems can be seen in the illustration below.
EDI-Link Features
- Automatic processing of incoming Sales Orders and outgoing Invoices, as well as the ability to generate Advanced Shipping Notices (ASN)
- Translation tables to map your customer’s codes for delivery and products to your own. The software also handles barcode translation to your Sage product codes.
- SAP Tracking can be enabled (through automatic matching of the number of lines on the Invoice/ASN to the original Sales Order)
- Exception handling can be configured where acceptable anomalies exist, such as mismatching on batch quantities
- Orders are validated for customer codes, credit limits and available stock levels - including holding orders for customers on ’stop’
- Sales ledger is automatically updated as part of successful transactions
- ASCII interface available to integrate EDI-Link with many accounting/SOP systems.

EDI-Link Pricing
For any combination of the above environments, EDI-Link is priced at £2,495 + VAT. That includes configuration of the mapping tables and 12 months telephone support. For any other software environments a price would be established depending upon the availability and complexity of the relevant software interfaces.
Should you have a specific requirement over and above the current EDI-Link functionality, we will be happy to discuss how this could be achieved. Depending upon complexity this may require an additional fee.
