Simplify Olin EDI Processing

Testing EDI 846 for Olin should include sample documents, required segments, validation rules, acknowledgments and exception scenarios. The goal is to confirm that the inventory inquiry/advice workflow works correctly before production traffic starts.

Before building Olin EDI maps, collect the trading partner guide, required transaction sets, communication details, test scenarios, partner identifiers, sample files and the target system that will receive or send each document. This is especially important for all product and supply-chain industries where partner requirements can affect downstream teams.

Olin EDI can be phased in by starting with the highest-priority transaction sets in 810, 850, 855 and 856, then adding optional workflows such as 812, 820, 824, 846, 860 and 870 after the core process is stable. This is especially important for all product and supply-chain industries where partner requirements can affect downstream teams.

Partner identifiers should be validated in envelopes, headers, map logic and the connected system. For Olin, incorrect sender or receiver IDs can cause files to fail before the business document is even processed.
