DBA Classic (or Evo-ERP) EDI interface updates

Last updated September 10, 2008

 
About
 
The DBA Classic EDI module from originally from DBA Software is designed to facilitate the transfer of incoming sales orders from a DBA user's trading partner. It was specifically designed to work with Technology Management Programs's (TMP) CandoEDI software.
 
As an independent software developer, we developed the DBA-side interface in collaboration with TMP at the request of DBA. The initial DBA interface was released during the latter half of 1999. Continuously since that time we made updates to the interface and assisted in providing EDI module related support.
 
Since the 2002.4 release of DBA Classic, DBA Software has indicated that it does not plan to offer further updates to DBA Classic's EDI module. So, we are continuing to provide updates to address problems, facilitate use of the interface and to add new features and related enhancements. These updates have nothing to do with the DBA "Next-Generation" product that lacks EDI functionality. These updates are compatible with Evo-ERP.
 
Updates have been released for the calendar years 2004 and 2005. Some 2006-2007 updates have been released which are free for users who have purchased the 2004-2005 updates. Ongoing updates are planned and support for the DBA-EDI interface is ongoing.
