Executing inbound processing

  1. Select Supply Management > EDI Processing > Translate Inbound.
  2. Specify this information:
    Carrier
    Specify the name of the carrier from whom you are receiving EDI-formatted data. If carrier is blank, then all inbound transactions for any inbound carrier are processed from the data exchange.
    Process Type
    Select the type of inbound processing that applies to this job. Typically, you will select Translate And Add to connect to a carrier and pull down EDI data, then translate it to application format.

    These are the values supported for inbound processing:

    • Translate And Add: Receive EDI data and translate it to application format.
    • Translate Only: Translate EDI data to application format but do not receive it. This option is most often used for testing.
    Log Level
    Select the appropriate log level.
    • Select INFO to only log general processing/translation information.
    • Select WARNING to only log warnings that are not fatal and do not stop translations.
    • Select SEVERE to only log severe or fatal errors that stop translation. For example, Trading partner not found.
    • Select ALL to log everything when processing/translating.
  3. Click OK to run the process now or click Schedule to schedule the process to run later.

    Typically, you use the job you define here as a step in a larger job. You run Translate Inbound to receive and translate inbound data, then run one or several of the interface programs to import the data.
