EDI needs exception handling beyond order intake
| Workflow | Without Sanka | With Sanka |
|---|---|---|
| Purchase order intake | EDI POs become draft orders, but item, price, date, and duplicate exceptions need manual review. | Route incoming PO exceptions through Sanka with owners and audit history. |
| Acknowledgement | Confirmations, changes, and cancellations are tracked outside the commerce workflow. | Manage acknowledgement status, changes, cancellations, and customer communication in one place. |
| Shipment notice | ASN, tracking, carton, and 3PL data are disconnected from order review. | Connect fulfillment readiness, ASN tasks, and shipment details to the EDI order. |
| Invoice and reconciliation | Invoice, deduction, payment, and accounting differences appear after fulfillment. | Review invoice data, payment status, deductions, and accounting handoff before close. |
