Failed orders. Chargebacks. Silent Connect queues.
An EDI failure does not announce itself. It shows up as failed orders, chargebacks on the 856, and silent Connect queues nobody is watching.
We configure IFS Connect and projection endpoints so your IFS talks X12 or EDIFACT. You keep the pipe — the existing VAN or SFTP. We do not take traffic, mailboxes, AS2, or managed EDI. Independent specialist. Not a VAN.
Crystal reporting is a different lane. See the Crystal-to-RDL Report Converter.
Three consulting SKUs.

IFS Cloud EDI Partner Pack
One trading partner. You keep the pipe.
- One trading partner

- Connect routing addresses, rules, envelopes, transformers, queues
- Projection endpoints for stable OData (not UI projections)
- IAM client credentials where required
- Sample-payload test and operator alerting
- Technical handover + runbook
- 60-day support tail
- Partner-test hours inside the pack, not unlimited
- Waiting on the partner is paused, not billed, not an open-ended retainer

Extra work outside a SKU is CA$150 per hour. Also listed on pricing.
What this is not
Not a VAN
No traffic. No AS2. We do not replace SPS, OpenText, Infocon, or TrueCommerce. You keep the pipe. Not a VAN.
Not Workday, Ultipro, or ServiceNow
Those non-EDI systems belong on the Application Integration Sprint.
Not a plant visit
This is remote Connect and projection work, not a site implementation.
Not unlimited partner certification
Partner-test support is inside the hours. Waiting on the trading partner is not billable and not unlimited.
Not a VAN. Native IFS Connect.
Keep the VAN if it already talks to Walmart. Or drop files over SFTP. Either way, IFS Cloud has to create the customer order, the ASN, and the invoice without breaking referential integrity. That mapping lives in IFS Connect and projections. That is the work.
IFS Connect handles routing, envelopes, transformers, and queues. Projection endpoints provide stable OData reads and writes — not UI projections. IAM client credentials where needed. We do not operate a network or certify you to a retailer.
Four documents. Same SKU in X12 or EDIFACT.
| Business document | Direction | X12 / EDIFACT |
|---|---|---|
| Customer order | Inbound | 850 / ORDERS |
| PO ack | Outbound | 855 / ORDRSP |
| ASN | Outbound | 856 / DESADV |
| Invoice | Outbound | 810 / INVOIC |
Other sets (860, 820, 940/945) are Additional Maps.
Five steps. Clock paused while you wait on the partner.

Connect foundation
Routing, envelopes, transformers, queues. Projection endpoints for stable OData. IAM client where needed.
Four-document maps
Maps for the core OTC set: 850 in, 855 / 856 / 810 out. EDIFACT equivalents are the same SKU.
Sample-payload test
Sample-payload test. Partner-test window clock paused. Waiting on the trading partner is not billed.
Cutover
Cutover + runbook + 60-day tail. Your team operates it. We do not take the pipe.
Tutorials, not case studies
Worked examples. NorthFab and BlueBridge in the 26R1 walkthrough are labelled as examples, not customers.
