Business Central users continue to look for better ways to connect shipping operations with accurate, standards-based EDI workflows. When shipping and EDI run on separate systems, the result is duplicated work, mismatched data, and delays. Below are three common questions about how to streamline this process using integrated tools.
How can I eliminate manual data entry between shipping and EDI in Business Central?
Dynamic Ship captures every detail of a shipment as warehouse teams pick, pack, license plate, and label orders. Each scan builds a complete digital record in Business Central, including license plates, tracking numbers, carton hierarchy, and item-level content.
Once users post the shipment in Dynamic Ship, Vantree immediately generates a partner-specific ASN (EDI 856) using the same data. This eliminates the need to re-enter information in a separate EDI tool and ensures the EDI document reflects the exact packing structure and shipment details recorded in Business Central.
What kind of visibility does the integration provide?
After generating the ASN, Vantree gives users full visibility into acknowledgements, trading partner confirmations, and alerts. These help teams maintain compliance, respond quickly, and keep transactions moving.
Because Dynamic Ship and Vantree rely on the same Business Central data, warehouse and compliance teams work from a single source of truth. This alignment helps resolve discrepancies faster and strengthens accuracy throughout the process.
What are the real benefits of connecting EDI with shipping in Business Central?
This connected, scan-driven workflow enables:
- Faster shipment cycle times by removing extra steps
- Higher accuracy through barcode-driven packing and license plate scanning
- Automated, compliant ASNs with no manual formatting
- Scalability to support more trading partners and EDI volumes
- Consistent, real-time shipping information for trading partners
By combining Vantree EDI Integration with Dynamic Ship, teams gain a straightforward way to accelerate fulfillment, reduce manual effort, and maintain fully validated, standards-aligned EDI documents—all inside Business Central.
