Follow the manual how to validate an EDI test file on the portal.
Keep on correcting the test file until your feedback contains no errors. If the error notification needs additional clarification, please get back to your EDI contact person.
Once you successfully complete the testing on the portal please notify your Volvo EDI contact person about it and send the test file to Volvo system (with test indicator - 1 in UNB 0035) or via e-mail.
As it comes to the despatch advice message please remember to send a corresponding PDF TRANPORT LABEL for initial testing.
As it comes to the invoice message the EDI contact person sends the test file to Volvo accountancy for final approval. Once approved, you will receive a separate e-mail with the production date from which you can start sending invoices via EDI for the validated and approved relation. From that date paper/PDF Invoices will no longer be accepted.
Please notice that the validation portal:
requires end line terminators in the test file
does not check the properness of the UNB addresses used in the file
does not check the properness of Party names and addresses, bank account details
is based on calculation rules which are sometimes dependent. It is possible to get more calculation errors than really exist (e.g. if MOA+38 is stated with a wrong amount in the file, then that wrong value will be taken to validate MOA+79 (which is calculated as a summary of all MOA+38 amounts in the invoice file)
does not fully support test files with multiple tax rates. You may get extra calculation errors
places the error on UNH segment, if there is a mandatory/required segment missing in the test file
