Trading Partner Information Exchange

I was passed a link to the Trading Partner Information Exchange by a colleague here at eBridge and I thought I would share it with everyone. By the looks of it, the site follows a bunch of the bigger trading partners and keeps track of any changes to the routing info or compliancy. You can set up notifications for certain stores so that you can stay informed on the changes by email. If you give it a try, feel free to leave a comment with your feedback.

Cheers,
Jay

EDI for MS Dynamics AX - eBridge Software

You may have noticed that this blog focuses mainly on MS Dynamics SL and MS Dynamics GP but as of today I am expanding the blog to also cover MS Dynamics AX. If you do have a project that requires either EDI, CRM or webstore integration with MS Dynamics AX then please feel free to contact me via my info on the right. I will be posting info about the various integration solutions we have to offer for MS Dynamics AX starting with EDI.

The ePortal solution from eBridge Software is a web based product that eliminates the need to manage and maintain the software that is required for EDI. With the ePortal you receive the benefits of having a translator and mapper without the headaches.

ePortal not only takes care of the software that is required for EDI but it allows removes the need for 3rd party communications. ePortal has the ability to connect to any trading partner using the method that is requested by that trading partner. All communication methods are supported, whether the trading partner requires AS2, FTP or VAN communication.

When dealing in the EDI world, communications are always followed by charges to use those forms of communication. ePortal gets rid of all transaction fees, kilo-character charges and interconnect costs while allowing clients to send unlimited transactions for a low annual fee. That annual fee not only includes transactions but it also includes unlimited data storage.

Through ePortal documents can be viewed and printed at anytime from any PC in the world that has internet and web browser access. Not only does logging into ePortal give you the ability to print documents that you receive but it allows provides web forms that allow you to manually create outbound invoices, advance ship notices and purchase orders. The web forms are provided as a back up solution in case of technical issues with MS Dynamics GP or MS Dynamics SL.

eBridge for MS Dynamics AX is a client application that handles the import and export of the EDI documents to and from MS Dynamics GP AX. eBridge is scheduled to monitor ePortal for new EDI documents and, when received, the documents will be transmitted via FTP and integrated into MS Dynamics AX.

The adapter for MS Dynamics AX follows the same business rules and logic that are included within the ERP. For example, the adapter will verify customers exist, customer balances and terms, products and pricing. Once a document has been imported into MS Dynamics AX a log file will be emailed stating what occurred.

The bridge will also be scheduled to monitor MS Dynamics AX for any new invoices or purchase order acknowledgments and send the documents to ePortal to be sent off to the trading partner.
