Introduction

This page documents how to configure EDIFACT messages for ordering and making claims with ProQuest. EDIFACT messages are sometimes required by vendors to support other forms of EDIFACT transactions including importing invoices, order response files, claims and cancellations. For instructions on how to import invoice and order response data for all vendors, including ProQuest, see Import invoice data from EDIFACT file and Import EDIFACT order response data.
