NetSuite EDI Integration: Essentials & Best Practices Guide

Enhancing Intelligent Connections with Globus Systems

With today’s fast-paced digital economy being dictated by integration of data, having a competitive edge over your competition requires not just desire, but integration of edge data. For businesses utilizing Oracle NetSuite ERP, there is simply no option to not have Purchase Orders, Invoices, and Ship updates automatically flowing back and forth between the systems.

With NetSuite EDI Integration this becomes a reality. Globus Systems specializes in developing and managing document integrations (EDI) with trading partners, eCommerce, and logistical partners to keep you ahead, safe and affordable.

What Is NetSuite EDI Integration?

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is the electronic transfer of simplified business documents between trading partners, including invoices, purchase orders, and advance shipment notices. 

NetSuite EDI Integration connects your EDI exchange directly into your NetSuite ERP system, allowing all inbound and outbound EDI documents to automatically flow between their respective systems—without the need for loading, unloading, or re-entering data. 

With the Globus integration, this results in: more timely transactions greater visibility fewer errors real-time syncing between you and your trading partners.

Why Businesses Integrate EDI With NetSuite ERP

Integrating EDI with NetSuite helps streamline your operations and strengthen your supply chain. EDI integration helps companies in retail, distribution, 3PL, manufacturing and eCommerce to:

• Automate order processing — Automatically convert EDI’s sales orders into sales orders within NetSuite in real-time. 
• Enable faster invoicing and payments — Ensure all financial data transfer between both systems. 
• Reduce manual data entry — Reduce redundancy and the opportunity for data entry errors. 
• Improve compliance — Ensure meeting your trading partner requirements is a seamless process. 
• Improve visibility — Gain a real-time view of the transactions and inventory levels. 

When you communicate with NetSuite and your partners in a centralized manner, you can have a more agile, responsive business cycle to change with customer demand at a faster pace.
