Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) Setup
In this article, you will learn how to set up the Shipper Accounts in Komet Sales to automatically transmit EDI information to your carriers. This is necessary if you ship via Armellini Air Express, Armellini Express Lines, Prime Floral, Florida Beauty, Logistik Alliance, Elite, or Floral Trade.
User Roles: Admin and Setup.
You can get the information you need to setup the EDI by calling your Carrier and asking for your EDI Setup Information.
EDI Setup
Main Location / Single Location Setup
To set up the shipper accounts in a single location company, do the following instructions:
Go to Setup and select Settings.
Click on EDI Shipper Accounts from the Integrations groups.
Select the Carrier you want to set up from the Carrier Tabs.
Fill out the form with the Shipper Account information.
Add the email addresses that the system should send copies of every EDI response by the active Carriers.
Click on Save.
During the EDI setup, you can enable the setting Only Scanned Boxes. This setting allows the user sending the shipping information to decide if they only want to include scanned boxes in the EDI process.
Multi-Location Setup
If you have a Multi-Location Company, you must add a Shipper ID for each Location, do the following instructions to set up each location with its own Shipping Accounts:
Go to Setup and select Locations.
Search the Location you are setting up.
Click on Edit from the Actions column.
Fill out the Account Numbers in the Shipping Accounts section.
Click on Save.
Add the Carrier Account Number
Main Location / Single Location Setup
To set up the carrier account number in a single location company, do the following instructions:
Go to Setup and select Customers.
Search the Customer you are editing.
Click on Edit from the actions column.
Click on the Days of Service tab.
Search the Carrier with which you are adding your account number.
Enter your Account #.
Click on Save.
Multi-Location Setup
The account number can be set up for each carrier based on location. The steps are the same way as described above for a single location. The only difference is that the list of locations associated with the customer will appear on the left side of the screen. Repeat the same process for each location for other carriers that require an account.
Setup an Armellini Shipper Account for a Customer
Some users may need to set up a specific Shipper Account for Armellini instead of the general Company's Shipper Account setup above. To do that, follow the next steps:
Go to Setup and select Customers.
Search the Customer you are editing.
Click on Edit from the actions column.
Click on Advanced in the Show Fields option in the Setup tab.
Enter the account number in the Armellini Shipping Account Number field.
Click on Save.
Once the Shipper Account has been set up, the system will send an EDI in a separate file to Armellini with the information of the customers having that specific Armellini Shipper Account and the company's general EDI Shipper Account information for all customers who don't have a specific shipper account set up.
