Basic Overview of Product Plus EC Subsystem
There are three major EDI processing operations:
1The inbound process loads EDI data from the sub-system (communication) layer into an EDI eCommerce database. The outbound process unloads data into the sub-system (communication) layer.
2The Transformation process converts and modifies data between an EDI-centric format into the QAD Enterprise Applications format.
3For inbound documents, a transfer process then extracts the EDI transformed documents, calls the appropriate gateway program that then updates into the system databases. The reverse process is followed for outbound data.
