Initial situation: ERP upgrade under time pressure<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nAs part of an ERP upgrade, LIMODOR Germany faced the challenge of rebuilding and consolidating its existing EDI landscape within a very short timeframe. The goal was to standardize previously heterogeneous EDI processes and consolidate several existing service providers across Austria and Germany into one centralized solution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A particularly demanding factor was the extremely tight schedule: only five weeks lay between the initial consultation and productive operation. At the same time, a total of 14 connected partners with different requirements and individual process structures had to be integrated, including companies such as GC Group, Richter+Frenzel, Holter, Pfeiffer & May, and Frauenthal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\nThe implementation<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nJust a few days after the initial inquiry, the joint project team began implementation. In close cooperation with the ERP partner MAIT, the new EDI structure was connected directly to the ABAS ERP system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A central focus was to make incoming orders available in productive operation as early as possible so that real data could already be processed during the ERP transition. This ensured that operational processes could continue without interruption. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The following EDI processes are used in daily operations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- ORDERS \u2013 processing incoming orders<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- ORDRSP \u2013 electronic order confirmations<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- DESADV \u2013 despatch advice and shipping information<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- INVOIC \u2013 electronic invoices<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
At the same time as the technical implementation, all partner connections were gradually migrated. Different technical requirements and existing communication channels had to be considered and transferred into the new standardized structure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\nSpecial challenges<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe project was heavily shaped by the very tight timeline. At the same time, numerous special cases and existing custom processes from the legacy system had to be considered and transferred into the new environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To meet the ambitious go-live deadline, the project team jointly decided on a so-called \u201csilent migration.\u201d In this approach, only the technical connection for business partners was adjusted without having to completely retest and reapprove all formats.
This approach places particularly high demands on the EDI service provider, as existing mappings and conversions must be replicated precisely to ensure seamless data exchange. Despite the tight schedule, productive operations were launched on time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\nThe result<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThanks to the new EDI structure, LIMODOR now has a centralized and standardized solution for electronic data interchange with its partners in Austria, Germany, and other countries. Orders, order confirmations, despatch advice, and invoices are processed automatically and seamlessly integrated into the ERP system. At the same time, the existing EDI landscape was significantly simplified and placed on a stable, future-proof foundation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
