S/4HANA Introduction – EDI – Electronic Data Interchange
The EDI set-ups remain fundamentally unaffected by the introduction of S/4HANA and are functional even after the system change. Our customers will not need to carry out any technical customisation.
EDI orders received during the changeover phase were buffered and processed in the new system.
Effects of the changeover on REYHER article numbers
There will be effects associated with the article number changeover as part of EDI processing. Further information on the new REYHER article numbers can be found here.
After the introduction of the new S/4HANA system, we will also process the previous REYHER article number in addition to the new REYHER article number in the incoming documents (ORDERS).
In outgoing documents (ORDRSP, DESADV and INVOIC) we will transmit our new article numbers from 1 January 2025. This may affect the synchronisation and import of documents in your system.
If one of the following points applies, you should take action to ensure that everything runs smoothly:
- You identify your articles using REYHER article numbers.
- Your system compares the article number from the order and the subsequent documents sent by us (ORDRSP, DESADV, INVOIC).
- The EDI connection has been implemented via a portal service provider (Newtron, Ariba, MyOpenFactory, etc.), which synchronises the article numbers.
A REYHER e-catalogue is stored on an EDI portal that is used as a database or as the basis for orders.
Please enter the new article numbers from 2 January 2025. You can find a comparison between old and new article number here.
Changes to shipping scheduling may result in deviations in the delivery date notifications. Under certain circumstances, a notification may be given a day earlier.
If, despite our extensive integration tests, content or technical problems occur during EDI processing due to special use of EDI fields, the e-business team can be contacted at the following e-mail address: edi.ebusiness@reyher.de
Brief summary
- After the system changeover, it will still be possible to place orders using the previous article numbers.
- The new article number will always be reported back to you in the outgoing EDI follow-up documents (ORDRSP, DESADV, INVOIC) from REYHER.
- If you carry out an article number comparison, please check if it will be necessary to set up new REYHER article numbers.
- If you recognise any processing problems or anomalies during the changeover, please contact us at the following e-mail address: edi.ebusiness@reyher.de
