Our EDI setup process kicks off when you make a request to receive these digital invoices. How do you make this request?
- Ensure the vendor you want is on the list below and upload an invoice for that vendor so we can process it.
- Find the vendor in the list below and follow the instructions for the "Requirements" - the (1-4) tells you where to scroll down to for detailed instructions.
- Please take a minute to review our two EDI modes. When we submit the request, we will need to know which mode you want!
- We will reach out to the vendor to request the integration on your behalf, or reach out to you for more information.
- You will know that the Digital Invoices are flowing when you start seeing CSV files attached to your orders! Learn more here: EDI and Invoices in MarginEdge.
The following information gives you specific guidance on how to request EDI invoices for your particular vendor. The full instructions for each numbered instruction follow the table. Don't forget, we must have an invoice in our system for the vendor you are requesting before we can request EDI.
