Can split cases be accommodated when using EDIs?
Issue: My vendor sells bulk product and allows for partial quantities to be received. Is there a way for that to be accounted for?
Resolution: Yes! Add the vendors size dimension, and vendor SKU to the parent & child item in question.
For this example, we will be working with cream cheese. The Vendor sells 10/3lbs. Meaning the cream cheese comes as 10 3lb units. Typically, the full 30lbs is ordered, but occasionally 1 or 2 3lb units are ordered instead.
- Confirm the item and the appropriate children have already been created in Yellow Dog. Click Here for more information on creating Parent/Child Items.
- Double Click to open the item editor for the parent item and navigate to the Vendor Tab to add the Vendor SKU
- Navigate to the child items tab, if there are multiple child items navigate the item in question and select Edit this Item.
- The item editor for the child item will open. Navigate to the Vendors tab of the Child item editor.
- Enter the same Vendor SKU entered in Step 2 in the Vendor SKU field and enter the size in the EDI Dimension box. This is case specific and will need be entered exactly as it appear on your copy of the invoice. For example: If the single 3lb unit of cream cheese is listed on my paper invoice as Ea then that is how it needs to be entered in the EDI. Select Save & Close
The next time this split case item comes in on an EDI, the correct child item will be pulled into the your invoice/receipt.
