E-Business (EDI)

E-Business is a fast-growing technology for customers and vendors and Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is central to both inbound and outbound business. MBS DEV has EDI extensions within our distribution software that create the ability to take on requests, acquire new customers and save on operational costs.

MBS DEV has extended the Microsoft Dynamics® AX offering to include many of the standard documents required to do business with your customers and vendors. Our E-Business extensions are standard XML documents for inbound and outbound processing. An EDI mapping application such as BizTalk Server or any other tool can be used to map to our standard documents. E-Business extensions handle processing, error notification, and workflow.

Within the MBS DEV EDI extension, an internal mapping utility allows for customers to define specific XML nodes to database fields. Users can also add new custom fields within each EDI transaction. Some examples of pre-defined nodes:
