How we integrate
Netix and SAP Business One
Analyse business processes
The first step in any EDI integration project is to analyse the existing processes and determine how EDI can be used to automate and streamline these. As your EDI provider, we will equip you with a detailed plan outlining our process including a clear scope of the work we'll complete, timelines, cost estimates and any technical requirements or considerations. All this is to make your integration process as smooth and easy as possible.
Identify EDI message types
Then we need to identify the specific EDI requirements for your business, such as the required EDI message types and communication protocols. The most common message types we see with our SAP B1 integrations are Purchase Orders, Order Acknowledgements, Invoices, Remittance Advice, Advance Shipping Notices, Inventory Inquiry Documents and Payment Advices.
Configure your EDI solution
We'll then configure the solution to meet your needs, this will include setting up trading partner profiles and mapping EDI data to various SAP Business One fields. We use pre-configured profiles so that this stage of the process can be made as quick and easy for you to get set up and integrated sooner. This may also include configuring validation rules and business rules within the EDI integration to enforce data integrity, perform validations, and handle exceptions or errors during the data exchange process.
Test and validate
Before going live, the EDI integration will need to be thoroughly tested to ensure that it is working as expected and that data is being properly exchanged between systems. The integration will be checked for errors and discrepancies which might include validating data mapping, identifying any missing or incorrect fields, and resolving any issues that may arise. By simulating real-world scenarios to ensure that the entire EDI process, from message creation to integration with your internal systems, functions smoothly.
Ongoing maintenance and support
Finally, to ensure your SAP B1 integration continues to operate as smoothly as possible and that any issues are addressed promptly, ongoing maintenance and support will be required. Our UK-based support team have been rated 4.9, and with different levels of support to suit your needs, they can always be on hand to help.
