EDI Home page

Welcome to the Electronic Document Interchange home page.

Material Requests introduced online via EDH system are transferred to the Stores application. The majority are transformed to paper orders to be sent out to the suppliers via surface mail.

The EDI application extends the electronic link to the supplier. The orders are formatted using the UN-EDIFACT DELJIT message and sent to the supplier via a Value Added Network. Merchandise is prepared and shipped to Cern within 1 or 2 days according to the agreement with the supplier and service level requested. Suppliers respond with confirmation messages (DESADV) before shipping, which allows for order consolidation. Merchandise arrives on the user's requested destination in a transparent manner without the user necessarily being aware that it comes from outside Cern.

Up to date two suppliers have an EDI agreement with Cern, Bossard Ag. and Air Liquide. About 10000 order lines per year are being sent once, and in the case of Air Liquide, twice a day.
