Purchase Order Acknowledgements

Purchase Order Acknowledgements are a common and demanding EDI document for many trading partners. Most partners expect fast and accurate acceptance, rejection or amendment. Vantage Point's 855 processing solution provides three options for streamlined Purchase Order Acknowledgement Processing.

Automatic PO Acknowledgement can be generated based on predefined settings configured by partner. Individual acknowledgements can be amended prior to transmission to your customer thus minimizing manual labor while maintaining maximum flexibility and accuracy.

ERP System Integration. The ability to meet a customer's delivery request often depends on the inventory availability/planning information stored in your accounting/ERP system. Vantage Point is designed so that Purchase Order Acknowledgements can be prepared directly from your inventory planning system through an XML export.

Custom Template. Each 855 Template comes with a customized screen that is configured for the needs of each individual partner. Only fields that are required by your customer are visible and accessible for input. "Drop down" selections are limited to valid values for your customer so that illegal values cannot be transmitted. This simplifies the process simple and helps avoid errors.
