TransLink ® WebDX subscribers have
complete access to their EDI documents. The application is comprised
of four main areas: Documents (Inbox), Archive, Reports and Account
Management.
WebDX alerts you to the receipt of new documents by delivering
an automatic message to your e-mail address. Simply click on the
link provided in the message, and you will be immediately connected
to the TransLink WebDX login located on this site's home page.
The Documents section enables you to view, sort, print, archive and
download received electronic business documents. The Documents section
also contains create features that allow you to generate new or return EDI documents
using a simple form. You can create purchase orders (850), purchase order acknowledgements
(855), advance ship notices (856), invoices (810), remittance advices (820),
or functional acknowledgments (997), based on the needs of your company.
For example, to create a return document from a received document (i.e. Purchase
Order) simply click on Create Return while viewing the received document
(Purchase Order). Then choose the type of document you would like to send back
to your business partner (Invoice), make any necessary adjustments to the pre-populated
document and send the document to your business partner.
The Archive section stores all documents
sent from your account and stores all received documents marked for archive from the Documents section.
This section also enables you to mark an incorrect document as invalid. As with
the Documents section, Archive allows you to view, sort, print,
unarchive and download received electronic business documents.
The Reports section generates various
reports on aggregate EDI activity. These reports provide you with
insight into your cumulative EDI activity within
the WebDX system. You can generate document reports by:
