About this template

What This Workflow Does

Trading partners judge a supplier on the accuracy of the stock file they receive, and most stock files are still assembled by hand: an export from the ERP, a spreadsheet that applies a buffer, an upload someone remembers to run. The numbers are stale before they land, and one bad cycle count broadcast as zero can take a listing down. This template builds, screens, and files the EDI 846 on a schedule.

Key benefits

  • Stock pulled on a schedule — Items and on-hand quantities come from Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations.
  • Available-to-promise, not raw stock — Reservations and per-partner safety buffers are applied before the file is built.
  • Anomalies held back — A SKU that implausibly collapses to zero is flagged, not broadcast.
  • Compliant X12 846 filed — appse ai writes the BIA, LIN and QTY segments and files it by SFTP.

Inside the flow

How the template works

appse ai runs on a schedule set to each trading partner's cadence, pulling items and on-hand quantities from Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations. It subtracts reservations, applies the safety buffer configured for that partner, and maps internal item numbers to the UPC or GTIN the partner recognises. OpenAI compares the result against the previous run and holds back implausible movements. The validated payload is translated into X12 846 and filed by SFTP.

01

Pull items and live stock on a schedule

appse ai triggers on a CRON cycle set to match each trading partner's expected update frequency, then reads the item catalogue and current on-hand quantities from Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations. The stock position is captured on the partner's cadence rather than whenever someone remembers to export it.

02

Calculate available-to-promise per partner

appse ai subtracts existing reservations, applies the safety buffer configured for that partner, and translates internal Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations item numbers into the UPCs or GTINs the partner recognises. The same physical stock pool can present deliberately different availability to a wholesale account and a dropship marketplace.

03

Screen the numbers for anomalies

OpenAI compares the calculated availability against the previous run before anything is transmitted. A SKU that drops from a healthy quantity to zero between two runs is treated as a probable cycle-count error and held back, so a warehouse mistake does not reach the partner as a stock-out.

04

Translate and file the X12 846

The validated payload is structured into the X12 846 hierarchy, including the BIA, LIN, and QTY segments the standard requires, and delivered into the trading partner's inbound directory over SFTP. The file arrives in the format the partner's system expects with no manual mapping step in between.

05

Escalate low stock to Microsoft Teams

Clean updates transmit silently. When a SKU falls below its configured threshold, appse ai posts an alert to the account manager in Microsoft Teams so the buyer relationship can be managed before the listing runs dry rather than after.

Business Benefits

Send trading partners an available-to-promise position calculated from live Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations stock, on their cadence.

01

Reduce marketplace overselling

Availability files reflect reservations and buffers rather than raw on-hand quantities, so partners are quoted stock that exists.

02

Catch bad inventory data before it ships

A SKU collapsing to zero between runs is held back as a probable cycle-count error instead of being broadcast as a stock-out.

03

Serve every partner from one flow

Manual exports and disjointed inventory reports are replaced by one scheduled flow that reads Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations directly.

04

Apply safety buffers per partner

Distinct safety stock rules give a wholesale account and a dropship marketplace different availability numbers from the same stock pool.

05

Map identifiers automatically

Internal Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations item numbers are translated into the UPCs or GTINs each partner recognises.

06

Alert on hero SKUs running low

Microsoft Teams notifications reach the account manager while there is still time to restock or brief the buyer.

07

Match each partner's update cadence

The CRON schedule is set per trading partner, so high-velocity marketplaces get frequent files without over-sending to slower accounts.
