The Job

As an EDI Associate you will review all incoming EDI invoices and credit memos that failed to post to the Accounts Payable system according to established business rules. Corrections that the you can perform are done daily, while other corrections will require communications back to the vendors, often with instructions on how to make those corrections and re-submit the documents.

  • Provide knowledge and self-service tools to vendors that will assist them in correcting their rejected invoices and credits when they are notified of their occurrence.
  • Process merchandise invoices utilizing the SAP Accounts Payable system
What you need to succeed
  • Associates degree or relevant work experience.
  • Two years' experience in large corporate, high-volume, highly automated A/P environments, to include in-depth understanding of EDI protocol, vendor relationships and billing practices, payment terms, and vendor payment processing.
  • Understanding of the accounts payable process as well as accounting and finance relative to RSC stock replenishment and drop ship activity, with knowledge of the cross-functional impacts and consequences generated from finance and receiving transactions.
  • Connect cross-functionally and develop effective internal and external working relationships with members of Procurement, warehouse management, and the vendor community.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving skills. Ability to understand, investigate and resolve problems using root-cause research skills.

  • Must have experience in Microsoft Office, specifically Word and strong skills in Excel (knowledge of formulas and pivot tables).
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills. Ability to compose reports and correspondence using good business vocabulary and proper grammar and construction
