EDI connection Bordero (BORD512)

Fortras is an EDI standard for data exchange between freight forwarders. The EDI messages (Borderos) are supported at the customer in the format BORD512. The borderos are transferred from the sender (freight forwarder) to the FTP server of the recipient (paper merchant/freight company). In the middleware 'Lobster_data', the source format (BORD512) is converted into the IDoc target format (ORDERS05), which is uniform for all customers (including goods orderers), by setting up a customer-specific mapping (profile). Another mapping (profile) ensures the uniform transfer for all customers by means of a web service to another middleware (web application developed individually by the customer), with the help of which the data import into the SAP S/4HANA merchandise management system takes place under automatic forwarding order generation. In addition to interface coordination with the e-commerce department, the technical implementation in 'Lobster_data' is a main point of activities.
