Batches, expiry dates and variable weights: the data that fails your messages

Remediation of food and beverage EDI flows, where traceability, variable weights and date constraints complicate every message.

What breaks in this sector

  • Batch numbers and expiry dates do not reach the messages correctly.
  • Variable weights cause systematic gaps between delivery and invoice.
  • Traceability requirements differ from one customer to the next.
  • One data error blocks a delivery at the dock.

The systems involved

  • ERP
  • WMS
  • Traceability / quality
  • EDI platform

The flows and messages at stake

  • DESADV
  • INVOIC
  • ORDERS
  • RECADV
  • GS1 codes

What we take on

  • Traceability in messages

    Batches, dates and identifiers transmitted correctly, from the WMS to the message.

  • Variable weights

    Handling the structural gaps between ordered, delivered and invoiced quantities.

  • Per-customer requirements

    One flow, adapted to each recipient’s own rules.

  • Blocking checks

    Incomplete data is caught before despatch, not at the dock.

What we find next

What we find next: traceability checks done by hand, twice, because nobody dares trust the system.
