Integration
api Computerhandel in IDA: order electronically, documents match themselves
The purchase order leaves IDA as an openTRANS document and lands directly in the distributor system - no portal, no email, nothing retyped. Order confirmation, dispatch advice and invoice come back and attach themselves to the right order.
BetaThis integration is built and usable, but has not yet run against a production third-party system - it was written against the vendor’s public interface documentation. Expect some follow-up work on first connection. We would rather say so up front than let you find out.
What IDA reads from api Computerhandel
- Order confirmation with the supplier order number
- Dispatch advice with the delivery date reported
- Invoice with line items, freight and tax amount
What IDA does with it
- Order from purchasing - the document goes out electronically instead of landing as a PDF in a mailbox
- The response matches itself up: order number and line sit on the purchase order, not in an email thread
- Reported delivery dates appear in the order list - no need to chase the supplier
- Several group companies through one account: the target company decides where the order goes
Who it is for
IT service providers buying from api who no longer want to run purchasing through portal baskets and mail attachments.
Setup: Store the credentials with the EDI service, choose the target company and connect the response folder. There is a test mode for the run-in phase: the order is accepted but not placed.
Every integration in IDA has its own switch. Turn it off and it disappears completely - including the columns, filters and reports that belong to it. You only see what you actually use.
Vendor website: api Computerhandel. api Computerhandel is a trademark of its respective owner; IDA connects to the system technically, which implies no partnership.

Questions about the api Computerhandel integration
Can I search the api catalogue like with ITscope?
No. This is the ordering channel - it accepts purchase orders and returns the document flow-back. Items and prices come through the price list, not a catalogue search.
Which format is used for ordering?
openTRANS 2.1, the ordering format widely used in German-speaking trade. In IDA it sits in a layer of its own rather than inside one distributor - the next supplier that speaks it builds on the same foundation.
What happens if an order is rejected?
The response from the hub sits on the document, with the message and the reference of the other side. A rejected order stays visibly open instead of quietly disappearing.
