Purpose
In the EDI scenario, purchase orders and the corresponding sales orders are created and sent electronically.
Process flow
Outbound
On the MM side, a purchase order is created and sent. When the purchase document is saved, Message Control immediately generates a message (send time 4) which is sent by EDI.
Inbound
On the SD side, the purchase order is received via EDI and posted as a standard order. If data or settings are missing, changes can be entered manually.
