EDI-Plus

EDI-Plus works hand-in-hand with MC OFFICE Software program. Data from your host system can be moved to your EDI-Plus PC with the click of a button, thus providing you the ability to electronically communicate with other vendors. Many of the features and functions of these software packages can be more fully utilized with the addition of EDI-Plus.

With EDI-Plus you can:

  • Access data from MC OFFICE that would otherwise be unavailable
  • Send and retrieve data files with the click of a button
  • Electronically communicate with other vendors

Through MTK, data is extracted from the MC OFFICE Software data bases. This data is then passed to the EDI-Plus Data Wizard, where it can be used in:

  • Reports
  • History Files
  • Charts
  • Graphs
  • Trend Analysis
  • Projections

Data exported from EDI-Plus may be imported into any spreadsheet software that accepts comma-delimited or tab-delimited ASCII text files.

Those familiar to the PC and Windows 9x - NT will find the EDI-Plus's design easy to use.



IRS Reporting

    The IRS Reporting tab is used to store the login information used to dial-up the IRP-BBS, the bulletin board used for submitting IRS data electronically. The install program sets the default phone number. If you have never transmitted data electronically to the IRP-BBS, you will need to use the Manual Dial-Up feature of EDI-Plus to establish a First Name, Last Name and Password with the IRP-BBS. In the set up session you will identify your company, by name, TCC Code, Taxpayer Identification, etc. This will be explained in the how to use IRS Reporting section of this manual.

TelMe
    This allows a specific person or group of people to be notified when a certain report is run. It notifies the necessary people that specific work is being done timely.
EDI-Plus
    This selection is used to pull specific reports for transfer to EDI-Plus. The report data is stored in specified report files. These files are transferred from the MCADATA directory to the EdiPlus\Reports directory on your PC.

    The reports can then be viewed or printed, or data from the reports can be transferred to EDI-Plus and used to create charts, graphs, trend analysis, etc.
