Electronic Data Interchange

The EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) department at Weidmuller is currently developing a working relationship with our vendors/suppliers to implement the transmission of sales and ordering information electronically. By receiving the sales and ordering information electronically, Weidmuller does not have to re-key the information into the computer system, thereby removing the chance for error. Our vendors/suppliers do not have to print or fax the sales and ordering information to Weidmuller.

For the implementation of EDI, the vendor/supplier and Weidmuller must agree on certain conditions:

  1. EDI Standard (ANSI, EDIFACT, etc.)
  2. Version of Transaction Set (Weidmuller can accommodate 2001 to 4010)
  3. Customer Identifier Number (DUNS, phone#, etc.)
  4. Product Numbers (Weidmuller requires a product cross-reference data file)
  5. Implementation schedule (To be decided upon by both parties)
  6. DROP SHIPS can not be processed through EDI
  7. Special Prints can not be processed through EDI
  8. Transmission times are: 5:00 AM, 9:00 AM, 10:00 AM, 11:00 AM, 12:00 PM, 1:00 PM, 2:00 PM, 3:00 PM, 4:00 PM, 9:00 PM
