Process Overview

The WEBEDI solution for Valora supports the following processes for orders:

• Receiving orders

• Sending dispatch advices for an order

• Download labels and delivery notes

• Sending an invoice for an dispatch advice

Orders

To view your orders, click on the Orders menu item at the top left.

Batch actions (Archiving)

Multiple orders can now be archived within a few clicks. Select the desired orders with the selection icon on the left side of the line. You can also select all orders on the current page (max. 100 orders) with a click on the selection icon in the header in the order. Then click on the desired batch action at the top right above the table. After a successful archiving, a notification is displayed. Please note that batch actions can take some time.

Viewing new orders

Click on the eye symbol on the right side of the row to go to the order process details and follow-up document creation for an order. The detailed view of an order is then displayed. Click on the green download button to download a PDF version of the order. You can create a dispatch advice for the order by clicking on New dispatch advice. If a dispatch advice is available for the order, then an invoice can be created for the delivery by clicking on New invoice. All documents can be viewed in detailed with a click on the respective document at the bottom of the page. There, the documents can also be downloaded as PDFs.

Sending dispatch notifications

In create mode select the desired delivery date and consignee for your dispatch advice and you will be directed to the edit mask. Please fill in all the mandatory fields in the header before moving on to the item section. You can change the document number and date on header level.

Advanced structure with SSCC

The structure is automatically generated with the input of dispatch quantity and quantity per transport unit (TU) per line item. The dispatch quantity is divided by the amount per transport unit and results in the amount of transport units per line item. This has to be done for each line item. In the next step the complete dispatch advice structure is generated, SSCCs are automatically generated – if the SSCC settings are set https://app.ecosio.com/webedi/settings –, Packaging Types can be selected and further information can be added per transport unit. All items and inputs with an asterisk are mandatory fields. If there are special validations the portal will inform you once your inputs are invalid.

After the clicking on confirm and next you will see a non-editable summary of your dispatch advice and then the document can be sent. In the summary mode you always have the option to go back to editing mode. As soon as you click the send document button the document is sent and you will be redirected to the order detail view with a notification at the top where you can download the dispatch advice as a PDF. Also, a link to dispatch advice summary and download is available at the bottom of the page.

Sending invoices

Select the desired dispatch advice for your invoice in Create mode. When creating the invoice, pay particular attention to the header information on the right side. Please fill in all the mandatory fields before moving on to the item section.

Note: Standard values for your address, QR-IBAN and further information can be predefined in the company settings (button at bottom left or top right in the navigation menu). These fields will then be applied directly in the invoice.

Note ESR- & QR-Invoice: Payment reference and QR-IBAN are special fields which should only contain entries compliant to QR-invoice and ESR-rules. Please make sure your QR-IBAN and QR-Reference are compliant to the rules here: https://www.paymentstandards.ch/dam/downloads/qr-iid_qr-iban-en.pdf.

If required, you can then change detail information with the edit button and the VAT rate selected at item level - the country for the VAT rate can be selected on header level and predefined in the company settings. All information on item level is based on previous documents like an orders and a dispatch advice. You can also add any charges with categories and a rounding amount on document level to the invoice amount calculation. After you have filled out all mandatory fields, you can send the invoice by clicking on the green button.

Note: The validation of documents integrated into the Web EDI helps to ensure that you do not forget necessary information required by Valora and indicates this with red outlines, * symbols or warning symbols. Please heed these warnings when submitting documents.

Labels Download

The dispatch advice provides SSCC labels for documents with the advanced dispatch advice structure. Click on the dispatch advice title in the order details view and at the top right you will find a download/print button. Click the wished format and the download starts.

Invite & Remove Users

Note: You need Admin rights for this functionality. Please contact your company admin regarding that matter!

You can invite all your colleagues directly in the settings, if you are an admin user. Either you click the invite button in the navigation menu at the right top or you go to the team settings and invite users via the invite button at the top right of the table.

In the Team setting you can also edit users of your team or deactivate them.
