If you look at the help files it does say that incomplete documents are placed in the incomplete folder and you can later open them by hitting data entry and selecting incomplete documents. It actually gives your exact scenario as an example. I personally have never figured out how to make it work though, all of my incomplete documents (missing pieces of data/etc) show up in fltrpt and don't map at all. Do they have support with inovis? They are generally pretty helpful on things like this.
From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Michael Mattias/LS Sent: Thursday, October 27, 2011 11:04 AM To: EDI-L Subject: [EDI-L] Trusted Link question 10/26/11 Using Inovis' Trusted Link for Windows, is it possible to programmatically create some kind of file which can then be edited using the regular (kit installed) TLW "Data Entry" entry screens for outbound documents? Here is my situation: With help I received here some time ago, I put together an application to extract invoice information from the client ERP system, create the required TLW 'Flat file', and we now use the TLW "Flat file to EDI" function to generate an '810' invoice and send it. Everyone is insanely happy with this, as it replaced hours each week of manual entry of invoice data using the TLW screens. The client is currently using TLW "kits" to perform "data entry" for ASNs; this, too, is time consuming. He has all the information required for Data Entry on paper (fill-in-the-blanks stuff from the shipping dept).. but not all the information on paper makes it back to the ERP system from which I could extract it. . We want to do the same thing we did for invoices with ASNs .. EXCEPT... we have the "missing shipment information (paper only)" hill to climb. I was thinking there are two ways to do this: 1. Create "something" to allow manual entry of only the "missing" information; then create "something" to merge this manually-entered information with the data which are available from the ERP system and create the TLW flat file as we did for invoices. 2. (preferred) Obtain from the ERP system the information which *is* available, and put that into "something" which would result in an "editable" TLW form for the user. I see there is an "open partially filled form" function in TLW which kind of sounds like what I am looking for, but I don't like assuming things like this. That is, the user would ONLY have to use TLW data entry to enter the few pieces of info which currently exist only on paper. I'm also looking at "a third way" to accomplish the goal (eliminate as much manual entry as possible), but that totally cuts TLW out of the picture so I am not detailing that here. I am right now open to any of these three options (and would be open to any more) but before I commit to anything I'd like to know if my "partially-filled form" (option 2 above) option is viable because right now that is the most attractive. Any and all guidance/pointers will be appreciated. Thanks, Michael C. Mattias Tal Systems Inc.
