Intercompany invoices via EDI

Bump

Any clues to this guys??

Many thanks

@Darren Ruddock I worked with this process a few years back. If I recall well, once the invoice is sent by one company, it should land in External Supplier Invoices screen of the other company and from there someone from finance should approve it so that it flows into your Supplier Invoice Analysis screens.

I hope this helps.

Hi Marcel,

Many thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, we still can’t find it. Is there anything in the below screenshots for the customer and supplier message setups that could be causing this??

Many thanks.

@Darren Ruddock I believe there is definitely something missing from the inter-co setup.

I see on your supplier record the sequence no is null for INVOIC. This means your supplier didn’t receive any INVOIC message, that’s why you don’t see anything in External Supplier Invoices screen.

is your intersite mapping done correctly?

Hi Marcel,

Yes, that all seems to be set up correctly. Is there anywhere else we should be looking??

Thanks again.

Hi, I am wondering if you have checked Inmessage and outmessage box…

Hi Alhagmo,

Thanks for helping.

This may be a silly question but, where are these located???

Cheers

@Darren Ruddock Inbox and Outbox message queues could be started in System Parameters. Please make sure these 2 are ON.

Normally when they would run they should process the messages through Background Jobs. Can you check if there’s any failed background job with function OUT_MESSAGE_UTIL_API.PROCESS_OUTBOX__ or OUT_MESSAGE_UTIL_API.PROCESS_INBOX__?

Hi Marcel,

Yes, both on…

@Darren Ruddock any background job related to connectivity inbox/outbox in error?

Hi Marcel,

Not that we can attribute to this process.

Cheers

Ok, so just found this background job related to this…..

All looks fine, no errors but still no supplier invoice received.

@Darren Ruddock  I know it sounds silly but for us, going into the parameters switching the ON to OFF and then back to ON made it that the background jobs for messaging were correctly scheduled again. 

Seems that sometimes with updates/clones/restarts these settings are not always correctly read.

“Have you tried turning it on and off again...” 

Thanks kvbe,

Just done that and tested, no joy.

Next, I’m going to hit it with a hammer...🤣

@Darren Ruddock I kinda’ have the same issue now. So I started digging a bit more. In my scenario I’m trying to send Instant Invoices from one company to the other. In my case I noticed that the messages remain in Outbox Connectivity in status Released. I’m trying to figure out a way to get those records processed.

I guess also in your case you will find the invoice messages in the Connectivity Outbox as maybe they didn’t get processed.  

@Darren Ruddock the below post helped me solve my issue. Now my Connectivity Outbox messages go to Accepted.
