To have Program Profiles to automatically be created when you accept EDI contracts, please contact MediaBank Client Services to set this up for you. This setting applies to the entire agency and allows Network to automatically create program codes in Program Profiles Definition and translations in the EDI Program Translation Definition when you accept a contact.
If you choose to keep your current setting, nothing changes and you still need to enter the program code in the Program Profile Definition and translations in the Program Translation Definition prior to accepting contracts.
Benefits when programs are automatically created:
You will no longer receive a program translation error log.
You will not have to create programs in Program Profile Definition.
You will not have to create program translations.
On the Contract Detail screen, key the Estimate, Package and Optional Product codes on each row. Refer also to Accept Contracts.
In most cases, the program code field is blank. At the time of acceptance, for any row that does not have a program code, Network automatically creates one and assigns it to the contract line item. Wherever possible, the system tries to use existing codes and translations, which means there may be some contract line items with program codes already assigned.
Note: If a program code was already generated for the original contract, that same program code for the same program name will be used for the revised contract.
Click <Accept>.
On the Accept Unit window, make selections, then click <Accept> to confirm.
Note: You may accept a revision for a contract even when the original contract for the same units was accepted. You will have duplicate inventory unless you remove the original units
A message displays advising that the contract was accepted.
The data is uploaded to Network, where program profiles, program translations and buys are created.
