[edit] Core Need

To automate sending invoices from Jaguar to 4Pole. At the moment we send a paper version at the end of the day. We want to send them electronically.

[edit] Requirements

With EDI established invoice should be transmitted the moment it is generated (without any extra review). If it needs to be batched then bundle could be sent once a day but not less frequently than that.

We should offer 4Pole various options for EDI.

[edit] Project Overview

In order to comply with European Union Customs Security Program, 4Pole has requested that Notice Of Arrivals (NOA) be transmitted electronically between parties. Currently, JFS London & Paris would generate a Notice Of Arrival (NOA) in CyberTrax2 and send the PDF notice to 4Pole via email. 4Pole would then enter in the information manually into their system.

4Pole has requested that we automate this process. Unfortunately, they do not have a set standard for this interface as each party has it's own nuances.

The objective of this project is to eliminate manual entry of NOAs by 4Pole and to comply with EU Customs Security Program requirements.

[edit] Business Requirements

[edit] 1.0 Electronic transmission of NOAs to 4Pole

We will need to develop a custom interface to transmit NOA information electronically to 4Pole. This requires that we map out all required data fields and pass information via a predetermined file transmission protocol.

4Pole currently does not accept electronic NOAs. They have requested that we just come up with our own file format (all data included in existing NOA file) in a fixed-width, delimited file, EDI file, or Excel (except xlsx).

Sample Notice of Arrival

In addition to FTP (secure & insecure), 4Pole also supports electronic submission via email to inbound@4pole.com.

[edit] 2.0 Configure Client Companies for NOA transmission

Not all client companies are in scope for electronic transmission of NOAs. We need to determine how to identify which clients are impacted and how to configure them such that only those clients will send NOAs. The business should have the ability to configure this option. Even though this interface is being developed for 4Pole, we need to be able to support this feature for other clients as well who may have different configuration settings (different file formats, FTP servers, etc..)
