Onetrail TPN™ Order Data Exchange
The following order related messaging services are available:
The Order send by the Buyer to the Sellers starts the ordering process. Onetrail TPN™ ensures that the (purchase) order generated by the Buyer’s system is translated and transformed such that the Seller can automatically process the (sales) order in their system. Onetrail TPN™ is able to use the Onetrail TPN™ Product Data Store to verify the product codes used prior to the order entering the Seller’s back office. Onetrail TPN™ ensures that all orders for/from all Trading Partners are exchanged in exactly the same way, so that your system only requires One Connection, One Mapping and One Service Level.
After delivering the Order to the Seller, Onetrail TPN™ confirms the successful delivery by sending the Acknowledgement or Non Acknowledgement if not.
The Order Status is produced by the Seller to inform the Buyer of processing details (e.g. order number, prices, expected delivery dates etc.) and potential exceptions (e.g. back order info etc.). The Buyer is now able to manage the order from within their own order management application for all Sellers. Order Status Messages are sent every time something changes in the order.
Once the Seller ships the goods, a Despatch Advice, also referred to as Shipping Notice, is generated and sent to the Buyers’ system, whom can then prepare to receive the goods. Especially when goods are directly shipped to the Buyers’ customer. The Despatch Advice is the only way in which to inform the Buyers’ order process about the shipment’s content and if the shipment is in transit. If the Seller scan serial numbers; these numbers will be included and delivered for processing to the Buyers’ system. Also the track and trace key along with the Transporter can be provided.
At the end of the order process is the Invoice. The Seller sends this message to Onetrail TPN™ where the message is translated and transformed, in such a way, that it can be directly processed by the Buyers’ system. All Invoices from all Trading Partners will be transformed by Onetrail TPN™ such that they can be processed in exactly the same way.
