Detect the inventory change
The flow starts when an inventory level changes in Epicor Kinetic.
About this template
What This Workflow Does
Trading partners sell against the stock figures you send them, and a daily 846 file leaves them working from old numbers. This template starts on each inventory level change in Epicor Kinetic, generates an EDI 846 with AI, uploads it to FTP/SFTP, and alerts a Microsoft Teams user when the item falls below a stock threshold.
Key benefits
- Starts on the stock change — Each Epicor Kinetic inventory change sends a fresh 846, with no fixed schedule.
- Partners see current availability — Retail and drop ship partners work from the latest figures.
- Low stock flagged — A Microsoft Teams user hears when an item drops below the threshold.
- No manual 846 files — Nobody exports stock reports or builds EDI files by hand.
Inside the flow
How the template works
When an inventory level changes in Epicor Kinetic, the flow prepares the stock data, has OpenAI generate an EDI 846 and uploads it to FTP/SFTP. It then checks the item against a stock threshold and messages a Microsoft Teams user if stock is low.
Prepare the inventory data
The fields needed for the inventory advice are pulled from the change into one clean set.
Generate the EDI 846 with AI
An OpenAI model turns the inventory data into an EDI 846 inventory inquiry and advice document.
Upload the 846
The file is uploaded to the configured FTP/SFTP location for your trading partner.
Alert on low stock
If the item's stock is below the defined threshold, a Microsoft Teams message goes to a designated user so replenishment can start before the item runs out.
Business Benefits
What changes when Epicor Kinetic stock changes reach partners as EDI 846
01
Partners sell against current stock
Every Epicor Kinetic inventory change triggers a fresh 846, so retailers and drop ship partners stop selling from yesterday's numbers.
02
Fewer cancelled orders and scorecard penalties
Partner availability that tracks Epicor Kinetic reduces orders placed against stock you no longer have, and listings that show you out of stock while goods sit in the warehouse.
03
No manual 846 preparation
The inventory advice is generated and uploaded automatically, so nobody exports stock reports or builds EDI files by hand.
04
Low stock reaches a person in time
A Microsoft Teams alert flags items below the threshold, giving your team a head start on replenishment.
05
Feeds that scale with your catalog
Event-driven updates handle growing SKU counts and stock movements without adding people to maintain partner feeds.
