SyteLine EDI Transaction Sets: Configuring 850, 810 & 856
EDI transaction sets form the backbone of automated B2B communication in SyteLine manufacturing environments. The 850 (Purchase Order), 810 (Invoice), and 856 (Advance Ship Notice) are the most frequently exchanged documents, yet misconfigured mappings between EDI segments and SyteLine IDOs cause costly chargebacks and compliance failures. This guide walks through production-ready configuration for each transaction set.
EDI 850 Purchase Order Inbound Processing
The EDI 850 maps inbound customer purchase orders directly into SyteLine's co (customer order) IDO. Proper segment-to-field mapping ensures that line items, ship-to addresses, and requested dates populate SLCos and SLCoitems tables without manual intervention. The BEG, DTM, N1, and PO1 segments require explicit mapping rules tied to your trading partner's implementation guide.
- Map BEG03 (PO Number) to co.co_num via the EDIInbound IDO for unique order identification
- Configure N1 loops with qualifier ST for ship-to resolution against SLCustaddr table
- Set PO1 segment parsing to resolve item references using SLItems.item cross-reference table
- Enable DTM segment 002 (Delivery Requested) to populate co_item.due_date automatically
- Implement functional acknowledgment 997 auto-generation on successful 850 processing
EDI 810 Invoice and 856 ASN Outbound Generation
Outbound 810 invoices and 856 ASNs are triggered from SyteLine's shipment confirmation workflow. The 810 pulls data from SLInvHdr and SLInvItem tables, while the 856 references SLShipments and SLPackages. Both require hierarchical loop structures that map SyteLine's flat data into EDI's nested HL segments for compliance with trading partner specifications.
- Generate 856 ASN from SLShipments using shipment_id as BSN02 reference number
- Build HL loops for Order, Tare, and Pack levels using SLPackages hierarchy data
- Map SLInvHdr fields to 810 BIG segment with invoice number, date, and PO reference
- Configure IT1 line items from SLInvItem with UPC, vendor part, and buyer part qualifiers
- Schedule outbound EDI batch processing via SyteLine's ION event triggers
Testing and Compliance Validation
Before going live with any EDI transaction set, validate against your trading partner's specific requirements using SyteLine's EDI test mode. Common failure points include segment terminators, element separators, ISA/GS envelope mismatches, and missing mandatory elements that trigger 999 rejection notices. A structured testing protocol prevents chargebacks averaging $50-$200 per failed transaction.
- Use SyteLine's EDI test environment to process sample 850s against SLCos validation rules
- Validate ISA and GS envelope segments match the partner profile in EDITradingPartner IDO
- Test 856 HL loop nesting against the partner's 856 implementation guide requirements
- Verify 810 total calculations match SLInvHdr.inv_amt to prevent invoice discrepancy chargebacks
- Run end-to-end cycle: 850 inbound, order fulfillment, 856 outbound, 810 outbound
