BOLD VAN's Microsoft Dynamics API is an integration that moves EDI data directly into Microsoft Dynamics without manual file handling. According to BOLD VAN, when a customer places an order, the EDI data goes to BOLD VAN, and the API places it into Microsoft Dynamics, where it appears as a sales order ready to process. The integration handles purchase orders, outbound invoices, advance ship notices, and more, and lets users work with EDI from inside Microsoft Dynamics.
As a Microsoft Dynamics user, you have already seen how great software can keep operations running smoothly. Now is the time to take it further by integrating EDI into your software with an API. (If these terms are new to you, see The ABCs of EDI and How BOLD VAN's API Can Improve Workflow.)

TL;DR
According to BOLD VAN, chargebacks are fees customers issue when a supplier's EDI transactions do not meet their requirements. The integration validates fields before transactions are sent and highlights any missing data, so items like unit pricing and purchase order numbers are verified and accurate information goes through.
You will see fewer EDI chargebacks, the fees customers issue when a supplier's transactions do not comply with their EDI requirements. This happens because fields are validated before transactions are sent. When a field is missing data, the system highlights it.
Items such as unit pricing and purchase order numbers are all verified before processing through Microsoft Dynamics. As a result, accurate information is pushed through and chargebacks are reduced.
TL;DR
According to BOLD VAN, the integration ends toggling between EDI and ERP systems. Users interact with both their EDI system and Microsoft Dynamics from one place: inside Microsoft Dynamics.
One of the most popular perks of this integration is that there is no more toggling back and forth between EDI and ERP systems. You interact with both your EDI system and Microsoft Dynamics from the same location, within Microsoft Dynamics.
