Creating an inbound BOD

On the Inbound BODs page, you can create inbound BODs for testing purposes.

To create an inbound BOD:

  1. Select ION Connector > Inbound BODs.
    Note: You can also create an inbound BOD in the detail view of the Inbound BODs page. To open the detail view of the Inbound BODs page, click the Drill down button of an inbound BOD.
  2. Click Create.
  3. Specify this information:
    BOD Type
    This field indicates the type of inbound BOD to be created.
    Document ID
    Specify the unique document ID of the BOD message.
    Automotive Exchanges Service
    This field is determined by the BOD type. It indicates the application services, for example, Master Data Service or Shipping Service, that receive the inbound BOD.
    • amd: Master Data Service
    • exm: Shipping Service
    • srm: Release Management Service
    • tfs: Transformation Service

    For example, srm-exm-: The inbound BOD Sync.Shipment is sent to the Release Management Service and the Shipping Service.

    Accounting Entity
    This field defaults to the current accounting entity that shows in the drop-down field located at the upper right of the page. This field value is not validated against the BOD data, and it is used only for display purposes. The BODs sent from Infor ION have their actual accounting entity.

    The field is used to enter the BOD data.
    Note: The BOD Type is validated against the BOD content.
