Q: How should Softeon WMS EDI exceptions be handled?

Exceptions should be routed with enough detail to show the partner, document type, failed field, error reason and next action. This prevents the EDI process from becoming a hidden black box.

Q: Who should approve Softeon WMS EDI before production?

EDI, IT, operations and the business owner of the affected workflow should approve production readiness. Partner approval is also needed when the partner controls certification or testing.

Q: What should be included in a Softeon WMS EDI test plan?

A test plan should include sample documents, expected acknowledgments, positive and negative cases, duplicate handling, field validation, system posting and final partner approval.

Q: How should Softeon WMS EDI handle document version differences?

Document versions should be confirmed with the partner and reflected in the map. Version differences can change segments, qualifiers, loops, fields and validation rules.

Q: How should warehouse EDI exceptions be routed from Softeon WMS?

Warehouse EDI exceptions should go to the team that can fix inventory, item, location, order or shipment issues. The error should include the partner, document, reference and failed field.

Q: Does Softeon WMS EDI need inventory validation?

Yes. Inventory workflows should validate item numbers, units, quantities, locations and timing before documents are accepted into the warehouse process.

Q: Can Softeon WMS EDI reduce label compliance issues?

Yes. Label issues are reduced when barcode and ASN data come from the same validated shipment workflow instead of being created manually.
