Overview

This article will discuss how Cloud Retailer processes EDI documents and how they should be configured for Cloud Retailer.  Below is an example of a product, in an EDI file, that is using BO as the unit of measure code.  There are instances where this code is used to define both a single unit and a case unit.

For Cloud Retailer, it is preferred that all products use one of two units of measure codes, CA to define a case unit and EA for everything else.  This will ensure inventory accuracy when parsing these files into Cloud Retailer.  

How does this process work?

When a supplier creates an order, the EDI file created is sent to Fintech for processing.  Fintech will process the file before they send the EDI files to RITE.  Cloud Retailer runs a process several times a day to scan for newly received EDI files and will parse all new files into separate POs.  The POs created will assign a single unit or a case unit to each PO line item based on the data from the EDI files.
