Connecting directly with your vendors through Kojo EDI/API integrations simplifies your ordering process even further. When a supplier generates a quotation they have a few options for providing that quotation back to Kojo. Our vendor integrations provide the quickest and most accurate way to get your quotation into Kojo.
​

There are two possible paths for Quotes to make it into Kojo without integration:

Once the data is ingested via either path you can allocate items in the quote to POs.
​

Rather than needing to upload anything or your Vendors using our bid portal, the Vendors can simply respond to your RFQ in their ERP and the quote will flow directly into Kojo for you to process.

Note: You will receive an email notification stating that a quote has been submitted "Via EDI"
​
​​(It's important to note that if you receive an email that is notated "Via EDI" you do not need to manually enter the quote into Kojo - it's already there.)

And the EDI document (which you do not need to open, Kojo has already pulled out the data) will simply appear as an attachment on the RFQ and you can process the quote as normal. The EDI file will have an .edi, .x12, or .txt file extension. For more information on what is included in these files, you can read through our "What is EDI" article.

Just like a quotation you uploaded, you can apply the pricing to an order that can be issued to the supplier. One of the benefits of processing your EDI quotations, is that the PO will be populated with not only the pricing but also the vendor's item description, the specific supplier part number that was quoted, and the quotation reference. This greatly helps speed up order processing time and improves accuracy for both Contractors and Suppliers.

Here is a video to walk you through the process.

Other EDI/API transactions that can be processed out of Kojo would be Order Acknowledgements (EDI 855) and Invoices (EDI 810).
