Business Need

Immediate business need is to respond to Arden's request to start sending most invoices through EDI.

This would cover:

• all MOTs and
• all Jaguar offices

Exceptions:

• EDI for all invoices except the ones for Maintenance, Web Portal and Administration fees.

Arden has a new partner company to support this: data2logistics.

Arden discontinued similar EDI with previous EDI partner Trendset permanently about 1 month ago.

Phases

Phase 0

Send one test EDI file to data2logistics.

Later phases

Arden agreed to staged approach. We can first convert invoices just for one MOT and or Jag office. And later turn on others.

  • This Draft Standard for Trial Use contains the format and establishes the data contents of the Motor Carrier Freight Details and Invoice Transaction Set (210) for use within the context of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) environment. The transaction set can be used to provide detail information for charges for services rendered by a motor carrier. It is used both as a motor carrier invoice to request payment or as details pertaining to motor freight shipment(s) charges.

Systems Analysis and Solution

Scalability

Since many Jaguar client companies would start/stop sending invoices through various EDI providers it would be nice to create generic solution to accommodate that.

Data exchange

• send invoices automatically (no need for operator to push or review)

• see #Technical Requirements from data2solutions

Admin

Option is to create Admin similar to Trendset Admin.

Details TBD.

Reports

None requested.

Logs

TBD

Inv Tab

If possible add sent/received/failed status.
