EDI Invoices to West Country Milk
West Country Milk noticed that quite a number of paper invoices they receive each week we being generated by the same system, i.e. the Dairydata Paragon DMS. At that time the WCM were manually entering the delivery information into there own bespoke in house system, which was time consuming and could lead to data entry errors.
We have worked with the IT team at WCM to allow a weekly batch of invoices to be sent as an email attachment in a specific format that their system can process.
A Group Account needs to be set up with each Delivery Point (Customer) associated with it from the start of week. After the End Week procedure has been completed, a simple procedure is followed to send the electronic file in just a few simple clicks.
Information required to set this feature up is to make contact with WCM and determine which email address to send the file. They may also require to be given a list of Paragon Product Codes so that they can map the codes in the file to there own codes.
Installations delivering milk for WCM may also want to Restrict Products that can be ordered.
NOTE: This is a chargeable add on to the system as configuration, training and additional support is required.
