ECI MAX EDI Integration
Automate Order Processing and Strengthen Your Supply Chain Inside ECI MAX
Integrating EDI with ECI MAX transforms how manufacturers and distributors manage orders, shipments, and invoicing. Our solution connects your trading partners directly to your MAX system, automating key workflows and eliminating the manual tasks that slow down production and fulfillment.
With EDI + automation serving as an extension of your MAX environment, your team can focus on production, scheduling, and customer service—not on retyping data.
Why Integrate EDI With ECI MAX?
Purpose-Built for Manufacturers and Job Shops
ECI MAX is widely used in environments where precision, scheduling, and material planning matter. EDI integration helps you move orders into production faster and more accurately.
Automate Order-to-Production Workflows
Inbound purchase orders automatically generate sales orders and production triggers in MAX—reducing delays and getting jobs into the queue immediately.
Improve Data Accuracy & Reduce Rework
Automated translation ensures materials, quantities, pricing, and ship-to details match trading partner requirements, reducing costly rework or schedule changes.
Real-Time Visibility
See EDI transaction status, acknowledgments, and exceptions from one centralized dashboard tied to your MAX system.
Supports High-Volume Retail, Distribution, or B2B Channels
Whether you’re supplying major retailers, distributors, automotive customers, or OEM partners, EDI ensures you meet their formatting, timing, and service-level expectations.
Key Features of Our ECI MAX EDI Integration
Automated Sales Order Creation
Inbound EDI purchase orders (such as 850 or EDIFACT ORDERS) flow directly into MAX as validated sales orders—complete with customer, item, and routing logic.
Production and Scheduling Alignment
As orders enter MAX automatically, your MRP, shop floor scheduling, and material planning modules stay in sync without manual updates.
Automated ASNs and Shipment Documents
Once orders are shipped, MAX triggers the creation of outbound ASNs (856), shipping confirmations, and other required logistics documents.
Automated Invoicing
Billing documents generated in MAX can be converted into EDI 810 invoices and transmitted instantly, accelerating the payment cycle.
