    Hi,

    We have been using Lawson and GHX for our EDI Purchase Orders for a while, and I want to see if we're using it efficiently for processing acknowledgements.

    Our typical setup is that we process an ED502 regularly to retrieve acknowledgement files.  We then have PO122 jobs that run regularly through recdef.  These are huge multi-step jobs as they were created for individual vendor/company combinations.  We have specific inbound filenames set up on our ED10 855 records.

    My question is if others do this the same way or do you just let all acknowledgements pile up in a single file and process them all at once.

    Thanks

      We now use GHX so we don't use PO122. Per notes from my predecessors, yes you can run all at once. PO122 ran first for Owens (the med-surg distributor at the time) and "then for all". I would guess that was only split because we had an Owens rep onsite to work them.

      This must have been v8 though. You'd likely want to test it.

        We don't use GHX but we run ED502/PO122 about 5 times a day and process all 855s together. We have one clerk that works on them through the day.
