WYNITannounced a planned change to their EDI inventory feed which will facilitate the addition of their new warehouse in Memphis, TN. According to WYNIT, they would like this change to be in place by September 7th, 2015:

The purpose of this email is to inform WYNIT EDI customers, suppliers & business partners of a planned change to our inventory feed. The reason for the change is to enable the reporting of product availability in our new warehouse. Located in Memphis TN, this new warehouse will be used to distribute a select number of our supplier’s product lines.

WYNIT’s current warehouses in Memphis, TN and Reno, NV will continue normal operation and inventory will be reported for them in the same manner. The specific change for handling the new warehouse will vary depending on your type of feed, with details below:
  1. Tab delimited feed:  Total WYNIT availability will continue to be reported in field 5.  Field 6 will continue to report availability in our current Memphis warehouse.  Field 7 will now show availability in our new Memphis warehouse.  Field 8 will continue to report availability for our Reno warehouse.
The format of the file will remain unchanged.  The same number of fields will be reported.  The only change will be positive values in field 7 for any product available in the new warehouse.
  1. ANSI X12 feed:  Customers who receive traditional EDI feeds will only see a change if their current feed reports availability at the warehouse level.  For those customers, an entry for warehouse ‘NY’ will exist for each item.  It will only contain non-zero quantities for items stocked in the new warehouse. 
WYNIT expects to make this change between August 17, 2015 and September 7th, 2015.

B2BGateway, a leading cloud based EDI solution provider continues its global expansion by opening a new office in Jinan, China. The new office will further enhance B2BGateway’s EDI and automated supply chain solutions to clients and trading partners in Asia.
 
B2BGateway is a world recognized EDI solution provider since being established in Boston, USA in 1999.

B2BGateway’s EDI solutions are used primarily by clients in wholesale distribution, healthcare, retail, manufacturing, automotive, government and non-profit industries.
 
B2BGateway has developed a cloud-based EDI software solution that fully integrates with most ERP or accounting software solutions including SAP, JD Edwards, NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics, MYOB, Brightpearl, QuickBooks, Sage and Xero to name but a few.
