About Importer
Importer is an easy-to-use program that automates the transfer of electronic invoicing files from your PC to your DDMS or DDMSPLUS system. This program was developed to work with Electronic Invoicing, but it also works with any program that uses EDI files.
Importer imports EDI files from a PC with a Windows® operating system and translates them to a format the DDMS or DDMSPLUS system can interpret. The interpreted files are then stored on the Work Unit specified in the (L0) Global Parameters screen.
When you use Importer from a command line to place a 997 into your system, the system receives the acknowledgment and writes it to the (SGT) EDI Transaction Monitor screen.
When you use the Importer software from a command line to place 810 invoices into your system, the system automatically compares the invoice to the received P/O. The software automatically processes and posts every item whose invoice cost does not vary from the cost on the P/O by more than a percentage or dollar amount that you specify. Any exceptions are flagged for your review. The system also posts additional expenses, such as freight charges, to the right G/L accounts and corrects the costs on all customer invoices associated with the P/O.
Invoices can then be posted through the (QR) Accounts Payable Reports screen.
Note: Because Importer relies on information it obtains from your system, you must maintain constant communication between Importer and your system when you are using Importer.
