I live in a Supply
Chain world that revolves around EDI 830 & 862's. Most of our customer
have been sending us these transactions for more than 10
years.
We do have other
customers that are not EDI capable with there business systems. These
requirements are sent to us on paper and "Keyed" into our business system in a
manual mode as apposed to the electronic real time processing we do with
EDI.
This is the
problem.
I have a customer
that wants to send us shipping authorizations independent of there long term
production needs.
Normally this would
be send as an 862 and processed electronically in our business system.
However, they do not have any EDI capabilities right now. They plan on
replacing there business system, but that won't help in the short
term.
These requirements would only have a 48 hour window. I told them
I could not commit to this time frame without them being able to send them
EDI.
Is there a simple
package out there that would allow them to "Key In" EDI Transactions and send
them out (to me)? I know of the STX windows package but to create the
forms would be a real problem for this company.
Any
Ideas?
