When setting up the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Data Interface for Electronic Data Interchange system, you need to specify how the system should handle financial documents.

EDI Inbound Interface Tables

When you run Inbound EDI Voucher Edit/Create (R47041) for invoice-summary transactions, the program uses these EDI inbound interface tables:

Mapping Guidelines

Mapping is the process of converting information from one table structure to another. In the F47042 table, the following fields must contain data before you can effectively receive EDI invoice-summary documents:

Application Tables Updated

When you run Inbound EDI Voucher Edit/Create (R47041) for invoice-summary transactions, the program edits the data it receives from the trading partner and uses the data from the EDI interface tables to update these application tables:

Click to jump to parent topicUnderstanding the Creation of Inbound EDI Vouchers

Run the Inbound EDI Voucher Edit/Create program (R47041) to process inbound EDI invoices to the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Accounts Payable system without matching the voucher to a purchase order.

When you run Inbound EDI Voucher Edit/Create, the system performs these steps:

  1. Enters the invoice information into the F0411Z1 table.

  2. Searches for level breaks at transaction numbers.

    When the system finds a level break, it reads the records in the EDI Invoice Detail Inbound table and creates offset transactions in the F0911Z1 table.

  3. Writes the total gross amount that it summarized from the Gross Amount field of the Accounts Payable - Batch table to the Actual Amount field of the F0911Z1 table.

  4. Prints the Inbound EDI Voucher Edit/Create report.

    This report displays the gross amount and open amount. If the system detects errors during processing, the errors are printed on the report.

  5. Determines the general ledger distribution account number using:

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicUnderstanding Voucher Processing

Run the Voucher Batch Processor program (R04110Z) to process invoice information. You can run the Voucher Batch Processor program in either proof or final mode. In proof mode, the program edits the transaction and sends any errors to the Employee Work Center. In final mode, the program updates the records in the F0411Z1 table and F0911Z1 table as processed. This action prevents further processing.

After you process and review Inbound EDI Vouchers, you must purge them. Use the Inbound EDI Voucher Purge program (R47041P) to purge Inbound EDI Vouchers. The system holds processed vouchers in the system 47 files until they are purged.

Important! When information is purged, it is not copied to a purge table. Instead, it is deleted from the system.

When you purge Inbound EDI Vouchers, the system removes all processed records from these tables:

This section provides an overview of lockbox transactions and discusses how to receive transactions.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicUnderstanding Lockbox Transactions

You can use EDI to receive Accounts Receivable cash receipts. To receive cash receipts, you run a program that converts and transfers the EDI information from the format that was sent by the trading partner in the EDI tables into the format used by the F03B13Z1 table. To process cash receipts received through EDI, you must understand the mapping requirements for the receipt at the time the transactions are received.

When you run EDI - Update Electronic Receipts (R47111), the program edits the data that it receives from the trading partner and uses the data from the EDI interface tables to update the F03B13Z1 table.

This table describes the steps you complete after you have used the third-party translator software to access the EDI data from the trading partner:

Step

Description

Review status information

Use the EDI Inbound Payment Inquiry option on the Lock Box (823) menu to review information about the inbound lockbox transactions.

Revise lockbox information

If you know that the inbound documents have errors, use the EDI Inbound Payment Inquiry option on the Lock Box (823) menu to revise lockbox header, deposit, payment, and remittance information.

Receive the lockbox transactions

Use Update to Electronic Receipts on the Lock Box (823) menu to convert the flat files to the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne application programs

Review electronic receipts

Use the Review Electronic Receipts option on the Automated Receipts Processing menu (G03B13) to revise transactions that the system transfers to the F0312 table.

Apply receipts to invoices

Use the Apply Receipts to Invoices option on the Automated Receipts Processing menu to apply deposits against open accounts receivable.

Print the bank deposit journal

Use the Print Bank Deposit Journal option on the Lock Box (823) menu (G47264) to print a report that lists all workfile batch cash applications.

EDI Lockbox Interface Tables

When you receive inbound lockbox transactions, the system uses these EDI interface tables:

Mapping Guidelines

You can receive multiple transactions in a single EDI transmission. Each transaction can have multiple deposits, each deposit can have multiple payments, and each payment can have multiple remittances. The system differentiates transactions and their related components by using these fields:

Total amounts are maintained by deposit and check for audit purposes, but are not transferred to the Electronic Receipts Input table.

Mapping is the process of converting information from one table structure to another.

These fields in the F47111 table must contain data before you can use the Edit/Update Lockbox EDI tables for lockbox transactions effectively:

These fields in the F47112 table must contain data before you can use the Edit/Update Lockbox EDI tables for lockbox transactions effectively:

These fields in the F47113 table must contain data before you can use the Edit/Update Lockbox EDI tables for lockbox transactions effectively:

These fields in the F47114 table must contain data before you can use the Edit/Update Lockbox EDI tables for lockbox transactions effectively:

This structure illustrates how the EDI Lockbox tables are linked together:

F47114 - Remit EDOC=112 EDLN=001 DEPN=88-888 LNID=002 SEQN=2

You should map EDBT and EDOC fields from some unique data item in the EDI GS or ST segments or you should have them compute by a Next Number API. You can generate EDLN, LNID, and SEQN from Translator accumulators or loop counters. You can map DEPN from the transaction data (DEP01).

The system displays the Total Amount field (TTOT) in the Deposit record to verify the check amounts against the deposit totals.

The Total Amount field (TTOT) is provided in the Check record to verify the remittance amounts against the check total. If the amounts do not agree, then the system prints an error message on the report.

You should map either the Customers Address Book Number (AN8) or their bank account number (CBNK) into the Check record.

Receiving Transactions

You can create separate versions to run this program in proof or final mode. In proof mode, the system does not update any records. Instead, it prints a report that you can use to review the transactions and errors. In final mode, the system performs these steps:

  1. Prints the EDI Lockbox Audit report.

  2. Converts EDI transactions and copies them to the F03B13Z1 table for further processing by the Batch Cash Application function. This function performs Accounts Receivable updates.

  3. Updates EDI transactions in the F4711, F47113, and F47114 tables, as processed.

When you receive lockbox transactions, the system creates the EDI Lockbox Audit report. This report lists the records from the EDI Lockbox Header - Transaction, the EDI Lockbox/Payment Detail - Batch, and the EDI Lockbox/Payment Detail - Payment tables as they are being processed. If you run the program in final mode, the EDI Lockbox/Payment Detail - Payment record (along with information from other records) is loaded to the F03B13Z1 table. Each time the system processes a batch of EDI records, it assigns and prints a new Accounts Receivable cash receipts batch number.

The system prints warning messages concerning discrepancies between the various levels of hash totals and other error conditions. If you run the program in final mode, the system does not prevent the records from being written to the Accounts Receivable Batch Application table. When you run EDI - Update Electronic Receipts for lockbox transactions, ensure that you:

After you run this program in final mode, you can process batch cash receipts to apply the transactions to open accounts receivable.

This section provides an overview of payment order remittances.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicUnderstanding Payment Order Remittances

You can use EDI to send financial transactions such as outbound Accounts Payable payments. EDI outbound payments use the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Accounts Payable system. The tasks are similar to running automated payments.

You can select these options when sending payment orders with remittance:

Option

Description

Speed Release

Review, approve, and hold open vouchers, as well as change their due dates. You can use this option in conjunction with the Cash Requirements Report (R04431) as a cash management tool. You can also select vouchers for electronic payment by changing the payment instrument (PI) codes on the vouchers.

Update AP from Address Book

Update the accounts payable transaction records with current information from the F0101 table. You should run this program at the beginning of each payment run.

Calculate Withholding

Calculate the amount to withhold for the accounts payable voucher pay items.

Cash Requirements report

Print this report to determine the cash required for an upcoming payment. It displays all of the vouchers approved for payment and due as of a given date.

Pre-Payment Processing

Run this program before you can create payment orders. This program edits selected open vouchers, locks them, and protects them from change. It also prints the Pre-AP Payment Edit report and creates a worktable of voucher information that the system uses to create the payments.

Payment Analysis Report

Print this report to display payments and associated detail currently in the payment process.

Print/Update Payments

Review the payment control groups currently in the accounts payable payment process. The status indicates whether the payments in the group are ready to write or update.

Copy to EDI Outbound tables

Copy the payment order information from the worktables into the EDI payment order tables. After the system copies the payment order transactions to the EDI payment order tables, they are ready for the translation software to process them. This program tracks which payment control group needs to be copied and the date the payment order transactions were copied.

The system copies tables with a name of F470561W to the EDI outbound interface tables. You can also copy these tables to tape.

Mark the outbound transactions that have been processed by the translation software as processed. This prevents reprocessing.

Copy the work files to the regular files and also mark them as successfully processed.

You must use this option if you are using a translator software package that does not use Application Program Interface (API) to update the records that were processed. If you are using EDI/400 as the translator software, you do not need to use this option.

Automatic Payment Journal Review

Review, correct, and approve a batch of automated or electronic payments on AP Payment Batch Review (P0413C).

Post Payments to GL

Post a batch of automated or electronic payments to the general ledger. Optionally, you can select a prepayment processing option that automatically reviews and posts payments during the payment process.

Void Payment Entry

Void an accounts payable payment. If you void a payment, you can void any voucher you have paid. If you select Void Payment Entry, the system deletes unposted payments and unposted vouchers from the accounts payable ledger table. You can void or delete unposted automatic payments. If you select to void payment entry, the system voids posted payments and posted vouchers and creates the appropriate matching void documents.

Purge/Archive

Purge or archive the records that are marked as processed.

Application Tables Providing Data

When you run EDI Planning Schedule Edit/Create (R47061) for payment orders with remittances, the program extracts data from these application tables:

EDI Outbound Interface Tables

When you run EDI Planning Schedule Edit/Create (R47061) for payment orders with remittances, the program creates records in these EDI outbound interface files:

Setup Considerations

There are several setup considerations to be aware of:

Issue

Considerations

Setting up the Pre-Note Code field

When you set up a vendor in the address book, the default pre-note code for the vendor is P. When you transfer funds electronically, the system changes the code to blank. For the first payment, the system writes the payments for that vendor to the tape with a zero amount and prints a check with the correct amount. Subsequently, the system runs the electronic payment to tape with the correct amount.

If you change the bank account code on Bank Account Cross Reference, the system resets the pre-note code to P. The next electronic transfer handles this vendor as a new vendor, unless you change the code to N or blank.

Setting up bank account information

The bank account that you are paying from must be set up on Bank Account Information. This is the source of the account numbers and the next document numbers.

Setting up the payee on the payment order

The payee on the payment order is determined by a processing option for pre-payment processing. If you enter 1 in this option, the system remits payments to any special payee that you have set up.

Defining the method of payment

The Description - 2 field on user-defined Codes (P0004A) for Payment Instrument (00/PY) lists the programs called to print the payment register and create the actual payments. You can define how the job should run by designating the payment instrument, such as a check, draft, or electronic funds transfer, when you create the bank tape table.
