Setting up Farmlands EDI Requirements

Going forward with the Farmlands EDI, the user will need to liaise with the Partnership Specialist who looks after them.  At this time please request an Export Filemask

This should always be done prior to migrating from pdf to EDI processing for any Card Partner. Note: Testing is also required if changes are being made to a current EDI, e.g upgrading to a new version or source data is changing due to a change in Accounting / Pos system.

Farmlands must have the opportunity to test before any new /amended EDI is used in production. All Testing requests are managed through our test team. In some cases, dependent on resource availability, it can take up to 2 weeks to have a file tested.

There are a number of actions Farmlands needs to complete internally to ensure the new or amended flows through our system correctly otherwise this may fail and will impact payment of invoices.  Please be aware that every Card Partner has a different pricing model set up with Farmlands and the Infusion EDI which was initially approved may not work for all Card Partners dependent on their pricing in place, hence the need for this to be checked this as part of the EDI testing phase. 

Required for EDI Testing

• An EDI Test file, from Exports / Export Data - previously sent information is fine - this is a test only.
• Examples of three Invoices and a credit note sent as PDF's

Going forward Farmlands also want to know the frequency of the export 

• Daily
• Weekly
• Monthly (is not recommended)
