EDI File Receipt Report
The EDI File Receipt (Edireceive) report receives an X12 file from a vendor and converts the file from the X12 format to the flat format so invoices and purchase order acknowledgements (POAs) can be loaded by other reports.
The EDI File Receipt report should be run after the EDI File Retrieval Via FTP report.
This report contains the following tabs.
• | Basic Tab: Reports |
• | Fiscal Cycle Tab (Single) |
In the Fiscal Cycle tab, enter a default fiscal cycle. If the fiscal cycle is not available from the file, the Fiscal Cycle field allows you to select the default fiscal cycle. The default fiscal cycle is used only for files whose lines do not contain the fiscal cycle of the purchase order.

You must select values for the Fiscal Cycle and Created in Fiscal Cycle fields, or the report will not run.
When the vendor sends an X12 invoice file, the file is sent by FTP to the /sirsi/Unicorn/Incoming directory on the SirsiDynix Symphony server. The EDI File Receipt report should then be run to load the invoice information into SirsiDynix Symphony. When the report runs, one of the following happens, depending on whether the data was successfully loaded into SirsiDynix Symphony.
• | If the information was successfully loaded into SirsiDynix Symphony, the report renames the X12 file in the /sirsi/Unicorn/Edi/Incoming directory to filename.edi, places the file in the /sirsi/Unicorn/Edi/Incoming/History directory on the server, and copies the file to the /sirsi/Unicorn/Edi/Receive directory on the server. |
• | If the information was not successfully loaded into SirsiDynix Symphony, the report renames the X12 file in the /sirsi/Unicorn/Edi/Incoming directory to filename.x12, and places the file in the /sirsi/Unicorn/Edi/Incoming/Failed directory on the server. The filename.x12 file can be examined to determine why the data did not load successfully. |

If the X12 files contain incorrect data from the vendor, have the vendor correct the information and send the corrected files to you. Then run the EDI File Receipt report on the corrected files.
