Webinar: EDI Processing in Acctivate 10

Take a look at how to process EDI transactions in Acctivate version 10.0 or later. We’ve moved EDI Manager into the Acctivate desktop app for more streamlined processing of your EDI transactions. During the presentation, we cover everything from creating a new Trading Partner to exporting the Invoices back to the solution provider. We also go over questions asked during the presentation by customers.
