Inbound Process Quote BOD supported

The inbound Process Quote BOD is now received from ION and used to promote a quote order in Infor CRM to a Quote Order (QU) in Distribution SX.e.

Enhancements are made to BOD handling in Distribution SX.e to consume the Process Quote BOD from Infor CRM. Upon receipt of the Quote BOD, a Quote Order is created in Distribution SX.e that can be maintained in Sales Order Entry. As with sales orders received from Infor CRM, you cannot maintain a quote order in Infor CRM after it is promoted to Distribution SX.e

After receiving the inbound Process Quote BOD, Distribution SX.e returns an acknowledgment Process Quote BOD to Infor CRM with the details of the new Quote Order. If the inbound Process Quote BOD encounters errors, Distribution SX.e returns Confirm and Acknowledgment Quote BODs with the error information.

Previously, quote orders from Infor CRM could not be promoted to Distribution SX.e.

Feature activation

The inbound Process Quote and outbound Process Quote BODs must be configured for the connection point to ION, as well as the document flow between Distribution SX.e and Infor CRM. A new sample document flow, SX_CRM_DocumentFlow_Sample.xml, can be downloaded from KB article 1887404.

See the Infor Distribution SX.e Integration Guide for Infor CRM for instructions for imported and updating the document flow.
