S/4HANA Introduction – EDI – Electronic Data Interchange

The EDI set-ups will remain fundamentally unaffected by the introduction of S/4HANA and will continue to be functional even after the system change. Our customers will not need to carry out any technical customisation.

EDI orders received during the changeover phase will be buffered and processed in the new system.

Effects of the changeover on REYHER article numbers
There will be effects associated with the article number changeover as part of EDI processing.

After the introduction of the new S/4HANA system, we will also process the previous REYHER article number in addition to the new REYHER article number in the incoming documents (ORDERS). 

You will be advised of our new article numbers in outgoing documents (ORDRSP, DESADV and INVOIC) from 1 January 2025. This may affect the synchronisation and import of vouchers in your system.  

If one of the following points applies, you should take action to ensure that everything runs smoothly:

• You encrypt your articles using REYHER article numbers.
• Your system provides a comparison of the article number from the order and the subsequent documents sent by us (ORDRSP, DESADV, INVOIC).
• The EDI connection has been implemented via a portal service provider (Newtron, Ariba, MyOpenFactory, etc.), which synchronises the article numbers.

• A REYHER e-catalogue is stored on an EDI portal that is used as a database or as the basis for orders.

  Please enter the new article numbers from 2 January 2025

Changes to shipping scheduling may result in deviations in the delivery date notifications. Under certain circumstances, a notification may be given a day earlier.

If, despite our extensive integration tests, content or technical problems occur during EDI processing due to special use of EDI fields, the e-business team can be contacted at the following e-mail address: edi.ebusiness@reyher.de
