Trading PartnerWhat is Infor CloudSuite Automotive EDI Integration?
Infor CloudSuite Automotive EDI Integration automatically converts inbound OEM and customer purchase orders into native Sales Orders inside your Infor CloudSuite Automotive tenant — no re-keying, no swivel-chair entry. Outbound 855 acknowledgments, 856 ship notices, and 810 invoices are generated from live Shipment and Sales Invoice records and delivered to partners over AS2, VAN, or SFTP. Every document is validated against partner-specific business rules before it reaches your ERP or your customer's EDI desk.
Zero-Touch EDI Reliability for Automotive Suppliers
-
Every inbound 850 and 830 release passes pre-translation schema and business-rule validation before it becomes a native Sales Order.
-
Shipment and inventory data syncs both directions, keeping Branch, Company, and Warehouse Location records aligned with every OEM release.
-
Trading partner traffic moves over encrypted AS2, SFTP, and VAN connections with 997 acknowledgment tracking on every exchange.
Raw EDI in. Posted Infor CloudSuite Automotive Sales Orders out.
Live OEM documents — 850 purchase orders and 830 planning schedule releases from partners like Ford and Fiat Chrysler — arrive over AS2, VAN, or SFTP and clear envelope and 997 acknowledgment checks before mapping begins. Each transaction is validated against Infor CloudSuite Automotive master data: Customer records, Master SKUs, variant barcodes, and warehouse locations. Clean documents post through the REST Web Services / Web API connector into native Sales Order records in real time, keyed on the buyer PO reference for idempotent matching. Outbound 855 acknowledgments, 856 ASNs, and 810 invoices assemble from those same posted records and return over the partner's required transport, with every 997 tracked to closure.

Bidirectional Pipeline & Native Architecture for Infor CloudSuite Automotive
Whiteboard-level breakdown of document intake, field defaults, cross-reference mapping, and runtime handshake constraints.
An OEM purchase order arrives over AS2, VAN, or SFTP, is validated against customer, item, and warehouse master data — including 830 release quantities and dates — and posts into Infor CloudSuite Automotive as a native Sales Order via REST Web Services without human re-entry. An 855 Purchase Order Acknowledgment returns within the partner's SLA, and 860 PO change requests flow into the same order only while its fulfillment status is still open.
Runtime Field Defaults
| ERP Field | Assignment Rule | Failure Prevented |
|---|---|---|
Default Warehouse Location & Branch / Company |
When the N1*ST ship-to code is absent or unmapped, the order defaults to the customer account's assigned warehouse location and posts under the branch/company tied to that customer record. | Prevents orders posting to the wrong branch/company — which breaks general ledger and intercompany posting — or routing to a warehouse with no pick access. |
Order Status & Credit Hold Flag |
Incoming orders land in an open, unreleased status and stay there until the credit check passes and line quantities reconcile against the current 830 release. | Keeps unvalidated credit and unreconciled 830 quantities from releasing pick tickets to the warehouse floor. |
Fallback Customer & Account Entity |
The N1*BY loop's OEM purchasing-entity code resolves through a partner cross-reference to the correct Customer master record; unmapped codes fall back to the partner's parent account rather than failing the order. | Prevents high-volume OEM orders from posting to unknown or orphaned customer accounts that AR cannot bill. |
Data Cross-Reference & Resolution
| Mapping Type | Source EDI → Target ERP | Resolution Logic |
|---|---|---|
| Item SKU & Part Number Translation |
OEM Buyer Part # (PO1-06 'BP', PO1-07 value), Vendor Part # (PO1-06 'VN'), or UPC/GTIN (PO1-06 'UP')
→
Infor CloudSuite Automotive Master SKU & Variant Barcode
|
Each PO1-07 identifier is matched in real time against the master SKU's variant barcode and its OEM part-number cross-reference entries. Unmapped part numbers divert to the exception queue instead of creating orphan item records. |
| Ship-To Store & DC Location Mapping |
Partner N1*ST Plant or Distribution Center Identification Code
→
Infor CloudSuite Automotive Customer Ship-To Address & Warehouse Location
|
Translates OEM plant and DC codes — the ship-to points Ford, Fiat Chrysler, and PSA Group issue on their POs and 830 releases — directly into native ship-to address records and warehouse location IDs. |
| Unit of Measure (UOM) Multiplier |
OEM Ordering UOM (e.g., Case 'CA' vs. Each 'EA')
→
Infor CloudSuite Automotive Base Stocking UOM (Each 'EA')
|
Applies pack-size multipliers from the item master so a case-ordered line deducts the correct each-count from warehouse bin inventory. |
Pre-Translation Validation Guards
Fingerprints the partner ID plus PO number — plus the 830 release date where present — and queries Infor CloudSuite Automotive for existing open or closed sales orders carrying that external PO reference.
Compares each EDI line price against the customer-specific price levels and contracted OEM terms held in Infor CloudSuite Automotive, within the agreed tolerance percentage.
Validates the PO and 830 delivery window against current warehouse fulfillment lead times before any stock is allocated.
Shipment confirmation and invoice posting in Infor CloudSuite Automotive fire event triggers that assemble the 856 ASN from real fulfillment lines and SSCC-18 carton loops, and the 810 invoice from actual sales invoice lines, transmitted over AS2 within each OEM's compliance window. The 855 Purchase Order Acknowledgment returns on order intake, and every outbound document is built from posted ERP records — never re-keyed.
Fulfillment & Packaging Defaults
| Parameter | Fallback Rule | Failure Prevented |
|---|---|---|
Carrier SCAC & Routing Defaults |
When the shipment record carries no explicit carrier assignment, the partner routing profile's default standard carrier alpha code is applied to the 856. | OEM receiving portals reject ASNs with missing or invalid SCAC codes, stranding the shipment at the dock. |
GS1-128 SSCC-18 Barcode Structure |
The GS1 company prefix is attached automatically to generate 18-digit SSCC-18 serial shipping container codes for every carton loop, and the same data drives the printed GS1-128 parts labels and packaging slips the partner requires. | Guarantees globally unique carton identifiers that scan cleanly at OEM distribution centers and keep the physical label matched to the electronic ASN. |
Outbound Normalization & Codes
| Mapping Type | Source ERP → Target EDI | Resolution Logic |
|---|---|---|
| ERP Shipping Method to Carrier SCAC |
Infor CloudSuite Automotive Shipment Record Carrier / Routing Method
→
Trading Partner SCAC (e.g., UPSN, FDEG, ODFL)
|
Maps the warehouse's internal carrier selections to the formal four-character SCAC codes each OEM routing guide demands. |
| Tax & Allowance Charge Codes |
Infor CloudSuite Automotive Sales Invoice Freight, Discount & Tax Lines
→
EDI SAC Segment Codes
|
Translates freight surcharges, discounts, and regional taxes into standardized SAC allowance and charge codes on the 810. Inbound 820 remittance deductions then match cleanly against these open invoice lines. |
Outbound Dispatch & Timing Guards
Reconciles total shipped quantities against physical warehouse scans and caps them at the original PO line and 830 release quantities.
Verifies the 856 has transmitted and received its 997 functional acknowledgment before the carrier arrives at the OEM receiving dock.
Infor CloudSuite Automotive REST Web Services / Web API over HTTPS, reading and writing native Sales Order, Shipment / Fulfillment, Sales Invoice, and Customer records directly.
OAuth 2.0 with per-integration API bearer tokens, stored separately from partner-facing AS2 and SFTP credentials so rotation on one layer never breaks the other.
Queued, micro-batched workers pace calls under Infor's per-minute API rate limits with exponential backoff on throttle responses, so no user session is consumed or locked.
Failed posts retry idempotently against the external PO/order reference, so connection drops never duplicate sales orders or shipments; stuck documents park in an exception queue for reprocessing. Inbound 824 Application Advice from the OEM is matched back to the originating 810 or 856, and every map is re-validated against a sandbox tenant ahead of each continuous cloud update cycle.

Tailored Integration Workflows for Your Industry
Discover how businesses in distinct sectors leverage Infor CloudSuite Automotive EDI to meet stringent partner compliance mandates.
Automotive
Automotive suppliers live and die by OEM release schedules — miss an 830 firm-release window or ship with a non-compliant label and the debit memo arrives before the truck does. Infor CloudSuite Automotive EDI keeps 850, 855, 856, and 810 traffic synchronized with your Branch and Warehouse Location data so every shipment leaves on time with labels that match the ASN.
Manufacturing
Manufacturers juggle multi-plant production, kit and BOM complexity, and customer-specific packaging rules that generic connectors handle badly. Infor CloudSuite Automotive EDI resolves Master SKUs and variant barcodes at intake, so complex orders map cleanly to the right warehouse location and production schedule.
Where do Infor CloudSuite Automotive EDI connections usually break down in production?
Most EDI failures occur when business rules, custom ERP fields, and trading partner validation are not aligned in real time.
Asynchronous micro-queues absorb the spike, throttle requests to stay inside per-minute API limits, and retry failed calls automatically until every document lands. Pre-translation validation quarantines anything malformed before it can consume an API call or pollute a Sales Order.
Infor CloudSuite Automotive event triggers capture each Shipment record the moment it posts, with API polling as a backstop for anything missed. Each location generates its own ASN and compliant labels from the same fulfillment data, so every 856 transmits inside the window and dock chargebacks stop.
Automated three-way matching compares the purchase order or 830 release, the shipment, and the invoice before anything posts to your ledger. Variances outside tolerance are flagged for review, and 824 Application Advice from the OEM is monitored so rejections surface immediately, not at month-end.
