Configure EDIFACT messages for EBSCO

Discover how to configure EDIFACT claiming from GOBI Library Solutions.

Introducción

This page documents how to configure EDIFACT messages for making claims with EBSCO. EDIFACT messages are sometimes required by vendors to support other forms of EDIFACT transactions including importing invoices, order response files, claims and cancellations. For instructions on how to import invoice and order response data for all vendors, including EBSCO, see Import invoice data from EDIFACT file and Import EDIFACT order response data.

 Note: Although ordering is supported by EBSCO, this document only includes instructions for setting up claiming messages.

Notes about EBSCO EDI claim service

  • EBSCO supports the receipt of WMS EDI claims via FTP.  Prior to going live, testing a small set (one to five claims) is essential to ensure proper setup, receipt, and file structure.
  • The match-point for claims is the EBSCO Order Number (EX: F8284502). 
  • EDI claims are transmitted from WMS to the EBSCO hosted server via Secure FTP.  EDI Claims are transmitted to the “Orders” Directory.
  • The FTP URL, UserID and Password will be provided at the time of testing with EBSCO.  If your institution is already receiving EDI Invoices from EBSCO, the FTP URL, UserID and Password will be same.
