Essential Documentation for System Operation and Maintenance
Why Document?
Have you ever purchased a new car and attempted to open the hood but could not figure out how the latch works or where to find it? How about the release button for the trunk or fuel inlet? Same problem? Chances are the first thing you reached for was the Owner’s Manual. Put another way, it is nothing more than the system documentation for your car or truck.
You surely would not want a mechanic to randomly replace parts on your car or truck until the right one was found to fix an existing problem. I am quite sure the same holds true of your EDI system. You would definitely not allow someone to make changes to Trading Partner setups, maps, file paths, etc. without completely understanding not only why a change is necessary but also the impact and results of the change that is instituted. This is where the importance of system documentation comes into play.

Is your company currently using QuickBooks for your invoicing needs? When using EDI, the 810 transaction is the Invoice. An 810 Invoice indicates to the buyer details about the purchase. There are an infinite number of possibilities that can be included in the 810 invoice. Some of the commonly used elements are item, quantity, price, vendor number, and address. The 810 Invoice is created easily on the Website, using the information that was received on the Purchase Order.
