Advanced EDI Invoice Storage and Translation System

EDI Invoicing is a crucial aspect of the EDI business cycle that can mean the difference between quick and efficent payment processing to long payment delays, cashflow problems and laborious payment matching.

Vantage Point is designed to extract invoice data from your accounting system and render partner compliant EDI with extensive data compliance checking.  Most Accounting systems do not store the EDI data necessary to product a complete EDI Invoice but Vantage Point is specifically designed to manage that issue so that you can send partner compliant invoices.

Because Vantage Point captures all EDI related references in the original purchase order and also provides powerful cross reference functionality, it can produce EDI compliant invoices from accounting system invoices that do not store all of the EDI data.  In other words, required EDI related information does not have to exist in the accounting system! 

Invoice data is carefully checked against each partner’s specific requirements and warns the user when critical information is missing.  For example, a partner like Wal-mart may require a tracking number with the invoice but Sears may not.  As a result, a missing tracking number will trigger a warning for Wal-mart but not for Sears.  Most EDI solutions either don’t warn you of compliance errors before transmission or force you to provide information the partner does not require which is burdensome to most users.
