Cacevo as EDI mapping provider makes you life easy.
EDI mapping is the process of converting data structures from an internal proprietary format (csv, json, txt, excel, SAP IDoc, Flat File, etc.) to a standardised EDI format (EDIFACT, ANSI X12, OFTP2, etc.) that is better suited to transmission between trading partners. Depending on the use case, data files need either be mapped for outbound (internal system -> EDI) or for inbound (EDI -> internal system).
Many EDI providers have complex mapping tools that requires lots of training time investment by users. At Cacevo, we believe your time should be spent on your core business and not on the technical details of integration. Therefore, our team will take care of investigation, setup, mapping, maintenance and monitoring.
Lets consider the scenario of sending purchase orders to a supplier. Normally, you would communicate the purchase order using an email with an excel or csv file attachment. However, one of your suppliers has requested that you send all purchase orders in the format of international EDIFACT standard. Furthermore, the supplier want the purchase orders to be automatically integrated via FTP communication. So how could you solve this using Cacevo?
To quickly start using this new way of integrating, you can keep the process of sending the purchase order via email in csv format the same - just send it to a dedicated email address of Cacevo Cloud instead.
Now in order to fully automate the whole purchase order flow, you would want to integrate the advance shipping notice (ASN) and the invoice EDI from your supplier, which can be achieved using similar steps as the PO.
