Manifest EDI can be sent from Expedient to the Overseas Agent if the details have been set up in the Agent Mapping screen.
The Manifest can be sent automatically or manually.
Automatic Sending
Expedient will run a regular check (usually every ten minutes) to see if any manifests are ready to be sent based on the EDI Manifest trigger in the Agent Mapping screen.
The date and time the Manifest was sent can be viewed in the Export Consol screen.
The EDI Sent flag indicates whether the file has been sent or not and also indicates whether the manifest was an update.
On successfully sending the EDI an email will be sent to the Agent EDI Receiving Manifest Contacts for the Oversea Agent listed in the Agent Mapping screen when a new Manifest EDI is sent or when an update to the Manifest is sent.
Sending the Manifest EDI will also create an event which can be viewed in the Manifest EDI History from the Messaging menu in the Air and Sea Export Consol screens.
Double click on a row in the Manifest EDI History screen to view the original text of the EDI message
If there is any missing information in the Manifest EDI a message will be sent to the Internal Export Responsible Contacts listing the missing details.
Manual Sending
Select the option ‘Send EDI Manifest’ from the Messaging menu in the SEA Export and AIR Export Consol screens. This option is only available where the Manifest EDI module is active and the Agent is mapped in the Agent Mapping screen. Any missing information will be listed in a pop up message. Provide all the missing information to send the EDI.
