Business Challenge: Integrate Purchasing through P1 EDI with Suppliers across Europe

One of our earliest P1 EDI projects, there are a number of unique elements to this project.

  • A multi country EDI procurement system
  • P1 EDI integrated with the IFS ERP software
  • Integration of P1 EDI with IBM® Sterling Gentran®
  • P1 EDI mapped to UN/EDIFACT

The customer, uses IFS for its purchasing, receiving and accounts payable. What the customer didn’t have was a means of getting EDI data from IFS to Gentran and Gentran EDI data into IFS. P1 EDI was chosen to map between the two, using the EDIFACT standard.
