Product Translation

The EDI Product Translation Definition option enables you to specify the Network product codes that correspond to the product names used by the trading partners for invoices. When an invoice is for a specific product, the system uses this translation table to determine the product code to appear in the invoice header.

When Mediaplex processes new invoice data for your agency, product codes are assigned to the invoice detail in this manner:

• If the EDI invoice detail has a product that was translated through EDI Invoices, the product code from the translation table is used.

• If the product was not translated but the EDI invoice detail has an ISCI code that is defined in Network, the detail is assigned the product attached to the ISCI code in Network.

• If the product was not translated and the EDI invoice detail has an ISCI code that is not defined in Network, the detail is not assigned a product. You should define the ISCI code, for future translations. After you accept the invoice, key the Network product code for the invoice if the Matching Profile (28) setting for product code entry is optional or required.

• When EDI invoice detail is received without a product and the ISCI code is defined in Network, with multiple products assigned, the system does not assign a product to the detail. You need to assign the product manually for the invoice, if the matching profile setting for product code entry is optional or required.

Steps to Translating a Product Code

3. Key the corresponding Product code, up to four characters, in the Product field.
