Purchase Orders can be formatted automatically as 850 or 860 EDI documents and transmitted to your vendors. Inbound 810 Invoices can be printed for Accounts Payable processing. Inbound 856 Shipment Notices can be printed to expedite material handling. Documents can be sent and received via a broad range of Value Added Network alternatives, direct communications, or the ADS Internet FTP Mailbox Facility. Only the serial number needs to be scanned if bar code labels are printed by the system.
Labels printed on other systems require each relevant field to be scanned.
The Advantage Label Template System varies the data requested of the operator when specifying which labels are to be printed. Most of the required information for label printing is extracted from pre-stored data such as customer orders or EDI documents. The Advantage system currently offers templates for a wide range of trading partners, and more are being added. Scanned label information can be pre-staged to associate multiple serial numbers with Master or Mixed labels. Additionally, container labels may be printed and scanned along with content labels, providing serial number tracking for returnable containers.
