3PL / EDI / 940 Trigger

edited Dec 6, 2019 2:35PM in General 1 comment

Any opinions / experience on the most appropriate trigger point to notify a 3PL via EDI to pull/ship inventory?

I inherited a system with fairly complex logic that triggers based on Sales Order committed quantity. While single pull / fully committed Orders are fairly straightforward, partial shipments with additional (possibly multiple) shipments to fill backorders are not.

My gut feel is that there is a simpler solution triggered by fulfillment records and using Pick / Pack / Ship.

I'd be interested in how others are handling this and any detail on Netsuite Transaction / Status and EDI transaction. Proposed format for response:

When Sales Order has a sufficient quantity (say 75% of ordered qty) committed and is within a 10 day window we flip a flag used to trigger a 940.
