The Aptean EDI extension is integrated with the Aptean Ultimate Consignee extension to ensure accurate and efficient delivery tracking. When integrated,

  • The system automatically updates the ultimate consignee details on the respective documents while processing through Aptean EDI 810, Aptean EDI 850, Aptean EDI 856, Aptean EDI 860, and Aptean EDI 940 ports.

  • The system ensures that the ultimate consignee codes are assigned to the ship-to codes.

  • The hierarchy of the update in inbound and outbound documents will be as follows:

    • Inbound - The translation value of the Ultimate Consignee Code field > The GLN field value on the Ultimate Consignee Code card page.

    • Outbound - The GLN field value on the Ultimate Consignee Code card page > The translation value of the Ultimate Consignee Code field > Ultimate consignee location from inbound file.

  • You can enter the GLN code associated with EDI messages and then link the GLN code to a customer and a ship-to address. Upon processing EDI messages with the GLN code, the system automatically inherits the consignee address details in the sales order created.

  • The UltimateConsigneeLocation field value on the associated Aptean EDI 856 Level 4 and Aptean EDI 940 ports are mapped as follows:

    • The UltimateConsigneeLocation field value in the Aptean EDI 850 port > The GLN field value for ship-to address in the associated posted sales shipment > The translation value for ship-to code in the associated posted sales shipment.

    • The UltimateConsigneeLocation field value in the Aptean EDI 850 port > The GLN field value for ship-to address in the associated sales order > The translation value for ship-to code in the associated sales order.

  • The UltimateConsigneeLocation field value associated with the Aptean EDI 810 and Aptean EDI 812 OUT ports are mapped as follows:

    • The UltimateConsigneeLocation field value in the Aptean EDI 850 port > The GLN field value for ship-to code in the associated posted sales invoice > The translation value for ship-to code in the associated posted sales invoice > The ship-to code in the associated posted sales invoice.

    • The UltimateConsigneeLocation field value in the Aptean EDI 850 port > The GLN field value for ship-to code in the associated sales credit memo > The translation value for ship-to code in the associated sales credit memo > The ship-to code in the associated sales credit memo.

This works similarly for posted sales credit memos and sales return orders while processing through Aptean EDI 812 OUT and Aptean EDI 812 OUT PURCH ports.
