An EDI 832 is a catalog price file and is used to request or provide prices and product information of goods electronically. It replaces a paper catalog and includes:

• Seller name and contact information
• Terms of sale
• Discount
• Physical Details including packaging
• Pricing information

How do I send/receive an EDI 832?

It is rather simple for a system to send/receive EDI 832s. For the most part, the transmitting is done through the Internet or Value Added Network (VAN). To keep EDI costs affordable, today most EDI transmission is done through the internet using AS2 or secure FTP- eliminating the need for an expensive VAN. The file is kept secure using encryption to keep the data safe.

Translating an EDI 832

Once an EDI 832 document has been received, it must be translated into a functional format for your system. The majority of organizations have their own standard set of definitions for EDI 832s so companies use a platform like logicbroker to configure and translate these different documents. Once the EDI 832 is translated, the catalog information can be synced to your internal systems such as an ERP or shopping cart – eliminating the need for manual data entry. Many retailers use logicbroker to automatically update product pricing and information from trading partners to their shopping cart –eliminating lost revenue due to inaccurate prices. Also, suppliers find it useful because they can quickly communicate pricing and product information to their trading partners- eliminating the need to send catalogs via emails, faxes, or mail.  Typically, many organizations will send similar documents such as an EDI 846. (Product Inventory).

Did you know that Microsoft acquired the Great Plains Software in 2001? Since, then now called Microsoft Dynamics GP, it has become the premier ERP system for many mid-level businesses. It allows organizations to have one central program to handle financials, order management, sales and much more. This flexibility has been the key driver for many mid-level businesses to turn to Microsoft Dynamics GP. With the latest MS Dynamics GP 2013 now businesses can even take advantage of the cloud-based solution for this powerful ERP.

As a central hub for your business process, Microsoft Dynamics GP is very efficient and effective. But, what if you rely on other systems in your supply chain to support your business? Well, we have found many companies are forced to manually upload data, from these systems, by re-keying the information into Microsoft Dynamics GP – a process that is time consuming and costly. Although inefficient, companies cannot abandon the process because it is important to their supply chain and it is critical the information in Microsoft Dynamics GP.  Wouldn’t it be great if you could sync the information directly to Microsoft Dynamics GP?

Well, today many companies are turning to EDI to help solve this problem. EDI is short for electronic data interchange and it allows computer systems to exchange documents and information between each other.  How can EDI help you? Well, if you are retailer using Microsoft GP it can eliminate the headache of manually uploading order information from shopping carts such as Magento, Volusion, Nexternal, or your custom built website and transmitting PO (Purchase Order 850) to your warehouse or suppliers. EDI opens up new opportunities including drop shipping and omni-channel retailing. By having this automated, it will allow you to process orders quicker and free up resources that were previously spending time fulfilling orders.  For suppliers, it can allow you to directly connect with your trading partners to eliminate the head ache of receiving purchase orders via faxes, emails, or phone calls. This will allow you to automate the process of sending back any ASN (Advance Shipment Notice EDI 856), PO Ack (Purchase Order Acknowledgement, EDI 855) and Invoices (EDI 810).

It seems easy but if you want to leverage EDI to its fullest capabilities, you need a hub that can integrate with Microsoft Dynamics GP and all your internal systems, like logicbroker.  As a Microsoft Gold Partner, we have experience in finding the right end-to-end EDI solution for Microsoft Dynamics GP and your supply chain.
