RedTail EDI 

RedTail EDI allows suppliers to receive and review electronic purchase orders and send them directly to their Sage ERP systems, where they are processed routinely without any manual or duplicate key entry of data. Invoices and shipping information that are generated are automatically routed back through RedTail EDI for transformation and forwarding to trading partners to complete the commerce cycle.

RedTail EDI enables the transfer and processing of both inbound and outbound EDI documents including:

• Importing purchase orders to a supported accounting system
• Creating advance shipping notification documents (ASN) Creating UCC-128 labels Creating purchase order acknowledgments
• Exporting invoices through RedTail EDI to corresponding trading partners
• Creating invoice documents for non-integrated installations

Integration with Accounting Systems

RedTail Solutions provides a managed EDI solution that is integrated directly to Sage ERP systems used by manufacturing and distribution based businesses — without costly software or custom programming.

Unlike thinly integrated solutions, RedTail EDI accounting interfaces automatically validate product description and shipping data and internal pricing rules, creating cross-references where necessary to maintain the integrity of the client’s accounting systems and database. Transactions receive a second level of validation as they pass through RedTail’s servers to dramatically reduce error levels in transactions.

RedTail EDI includes automatic updates for accounting interfaces and trading partner requirements at no additional cost.

RedTail EDI integrates directly with the following Sage systems:

• Sage Businessvision Accounting
• Sage 100 ERP (MAS 90 and MAS 200)
• Sage 300 ERP (Accpac)
• Sage 500 ERP (MAS 500)
• Sage Pro ERP

Product Data Supported by RedTail GDS

Product identification and classification gives suppliers and buyers a common language for distinguishing product data that is uniform across the entire supply chain. All keys to the unique identification of product data are supported by RedTail GDS:

• Global Location Number (GLN) - A unique, 13-digit number that distinguishes physical, functional and legal entities (e.g., companies, warehouses, stores, etc.).
• Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) - The 14-digit data structure used to uniquely identify trade items (products and services) within the evolved EAN.UCC system.
• Global Product Classification (GPC) - Standard groupings of products and services with like attributes established by GS-1.
