Sending Acknowledgements in CMS

Sending Acknowledgements Automatically

Sending Acknowledgements on Demand

Sending Acknowledgements Automatically

1. To set-up CMS to automatically send purchase orders, select option 20 - Schedule Automatic Processing on the CMS menu. The CMS Timer and Settings Screen appears.

2. Entries are required in all four fields.

3. Enter the information and press Enter. The Timer Settings screen appears.

4. The Timer Settings are not used for sending Order Acknowledgements. When the order is processed, the order acknowledgement is automatically sent to the trading partner that sent the purchase order. ONLY processed purchase orders generate an order acknowledgement. Unprocessed order (i.e., orders that have been cancelled) do not generate an order acknowledgement. Furthermore, orders that are manually entered do not automatically generate an order acknowledgement.

5. Enter a transmission mode. You can choose between Java Processor or Gentran. The standard mode is 1 - Java Processor. However, if you need to use Gentran, enter IBM or ONET3 as the Gentran Map ID.

6. On outbound purchase order acknowledgements, CMS gives you four options for encoding your transactions.

Enter the code that corresponds to the value you want on your CMS purchase order acknowledgement. If you specified that you want to use warehouse information, but you occasionally have purchased items that are direct shipped to your customers, you can configure CMS to use a Branch code.

7. If an OUTQ is specified, in the Enter OutQ field, then the reports generated by the processing of the acknowledgements go to this output queue. This gives you the ability to redirect reports to specific out queues based on the partner and the transaction. For example, you can direct outbound acknowledgements to a specific outq and the inbound ones to a different out queue.   

Note:  Gentran EDI reports cannot be directed to a specific output queue.

If there is not an outQ specified, the information is directed by the output queue setting on the user profile.

Sending Acknowledgements on Demand

Through a menu option you can send purchase orders as needed.

1.  From the CMS menu, select option 41 - Extract and Export Purchase Order Acknowledgements and press Enter. The PO Ack Extract and Export screen appears.

2. Fill in the fields as needed:

3. Press Enter and then F2=Submit to extract and send the purchase order. If the purchase orders were sent, you will see the message “Outbound PO Acks Have Been Submitted”.

What happens behind the scenes is the program picks out the purchase order acknowledgement(s). It then transmits the acknowledgements to the Target File destination established for the user.

Receiving Acknowledgments Automatically

The set-up for receiving acknowledgments automatically is the same as for sending them. The only difference is that instead of entering an O in the Direction field you need to enter an I for inbound.

The Receiving screen includes the following setting that is not included on the Sending (outbound) screen.

This setting directs the system to rename or delete a PO Acknowledgement after it has been picked up or transferred. Prior to the introduction of this setting in 2013, the PO Acknowledgements were automatically deleted after being picked up by the iSeries Server.
