Revalidate Incoming Orders (incl prior) - EDI Order Processing

This revalidates all orders in the EDI message file, whether marked for manual or automatic transfer.It does not process orders already passed to Datafile. It does not reprint copy orders either – you can do this using the next option – on the basis that the original copy order print is unlikely to differ much after validation.

You are first asked to say to which printer any output report should be printed. We recommend that you use the print spooler for this, and determine later whether or not physically to print the report.

Next, a screen message tells you what is about to happen. To proceed, key <Enter>. To abandon the process without processing the EDI messages, key <Escape>.

All outstanding EDI file orders that remain in the EDI file are now re-validated, and a report printed giving the results of this process.

If you chose to spool the printed report, remember now to look at them and determine if there is any corrective action required because there are still errors in some messages. Note that copy orders are not printed by this process; this you can do with the option that follows.
