Plain-English Integration Visualizer
Simple example: a purchase order becomes a QuickBooks order draft
A retailer sends a purchase order, or your team uploads the file. SignalEDI checks it against the saved partner setup and prepares a QuickBooks-friendly draft.
1. File arrives
A buyer sends an 850 purchase order, or your team uploads the file you already have.
2. Signal matches it
Signal checks the saved partner and message setup. You do not choose EDI versus API at upload time.
3. Fields are checked
Names, item codes, quantities, dates, and required partner fields are reviewed before the file moves.
4. QuickBooks gets a draft
A clean order draft is prepared, and Today shows whether it is checked, routed, or needs attention.
If something is wrong
Decisions explains the blocker in plain English, asks for approval, and only then retries or reprocesses.
