Lingo is an EDI provider for large retailers such as David Jones, Myer etc.
Those retailers often require their suppliers to use EDI for;
Receiving orders
Updating Inventory
Shipping confirmations
To begin you will need a lingo account connected to Indigo8. Please note that setup can take up to 6 weeks.
New Orders
When the retailer issues new orders, they will appear in your Lingo account under New orders.
Indigo8 automatically gets new orders every work day at 8am. New or updated orders will appear in the Sales >> imported Orders for Approval tab.
Orders which have been imported to Indigo8 may be approved by selecting the “Approve orders” button.
This will move the order to “Open orders” on the Lingo Dashboard.
Updated Orders
Retailer changes
Changes made by the retailer are included in the daily 8am update.
The retailer may make changes up until the point that:
The order has been sent to the 3PL
The order has been released for picking
Sales or warehouse changes
Any changes to the order made by your sales or warehouse team must be communicated to the retailer as they will NOT flow through to the retailers system.
When the retailer makes the requested changes they will flow through to I8 and update the current order.
