# Sherwin Williams EDI
# Overview
With Sherwin Williams EDI, there are three main documents that will be transferred via EDI:
Sherwin Williams has a third party company that handles all of their EDI called Corcentric (opens new window). Because they use an EDI method called VAN (value added network) which usually requires integration with on-premises 3rd party software, Momentum is using a 3rd party vendor called Infocon (opens new window) that can handle this for us. As a result, they open up certain API endpoints that will send and receive the documents as JSON.
# Lifecycle
Momentum will check the Infocon endpoint for new orders every 15 minutes from 4am to 5pm Pacific. When a new purchase order comes in, it will be processed and turned in to one or more pending orders depending on the warehouse locations of the products and if it is a direct from vendor product.
Once all of the pending orders have been created and given a shipping date, it will send the acknowledgment.
Finally, as the orders are shipped and invoiced, it will send each invoice.
