01 / THE WORK, MADE CLEAR

Keep order, shipment and invoice connected.

A distributor receives information from suppliers and customers while managing its own stock and fulfillment records. The same transaction may use different references on each side. A document-processing flow needs to retain those relationships so the operation can connect an order with the shipment and invoice that follow.

01
Order intake
Understand the requested items, quantities and ship-to reference.
02
Receiving context
Relate expected shipment details to the originating order.
03
Invoice context
Keep document references available for the payment process.

02 / THE CONNECTION THAT MATTERS

Three documents, three operational questions.

Three documents, three operational questions.
Context	What matters	The handoff
Purchase order	What was requested?	Items and requested quantities
Shipping notice	What is expected to arrive?	Shipment and package relationships
Invoice	What is being billed?	Invoice, order and line references

Business documents arranged for an order and shipment workflow review — Make the information useful.

03 / BUILT AROUND YOUR WORK

Treat partner variations as part of the design.

An unfamiliar unit, substituted item code or missing order reference can send a document into manual follow-up. Bring these cases into the implementation brief. Agree where cross-references are maintained and how the business team will resolve records that cannot be matched.

A CLEARER PICTURE

Good questions.
Clear answers.

Is EDI the same as pharmaceutical traceability?

No. EDI exchanges structured business documents. Pharmaceutical traceability follows identified product records and events. Connect RX addresses that separate product context.

Can this support both supplier and customer documents?

The direction of the flow is part of the implementation. Confirm the required document types, versions and partner guides for each side.
