Electronic Data Interface

With Your Vendors

OVERVIEW

Electronic Data Interface (EDI) with vendors is the electronic submission of Purchase Orders and the receipt of associated documents. These electronic documents are transported directly from your NEVIS system to a Personal Computer connected to the host by emulation. The documents are then transmitted via a Value Added Network (VAN). The VAN provides software for the transmission and receipt of documents. The documents are Accredited Standards Committee X.12 standard format. This eliminates the need for a software translator from the VAN (SAVES $$). Cygnus provides the programs to create/download or upload/process the electronic documents (standard ASC X.12 format) for the NEVIS user (Host).
