The MDX Trading Partner Checklist is used to document the characteristics and dependencies of the data fields being sent in an MDX transaction. For companies who are requiring the use of the MDX by their suppliers, the preparation and distribution of this document to those suppliers integrating the MDX to their computer systems will help answer many of their questions relating to data field formatting. For example, the length (number of characters) and type (numeric versus alphanumeric) of the purchase order number data field will be important to those suppliers looking to import the MDX PO’s directly into their computer systems. (Keep in mind that all data field formats must be within the guidelines set in the file specification documents.) The one-time preparation and distribution of this document to suppliers who integrate the MDX to their computer systems is more efficient than answering the same data field formatting questions repeatedly for each supplier. For companies who are required to use the MDX by their customers, and those who voluntarily use the MDX to take advantage of its efficiencies by conducting business electronically, the “Trading Partner Checklist” is a single-source for documenting system integration notes, data handling, and data requirements on a customer-by-customer basis. |
