Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)

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, APM, Elite, Floral Trade, Florida Beauty, Logistik Alliance, or Prime Floral.

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:

  1. Go to Setup and select Settings.

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:

  1. Go to Setup and select Customers.

  2. Search the Customer you are editing.

  3. Click on Edit from the actions column.

  4. Click on Advanced in the Show Fields option in the Setup tab.

  5. Enter the account number in the Armellini Shipping Account Number field.

  6. 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.
