BOD Messaging

Business object documents (BODs) are XML messages used to exchange data between enterprises or enterprise applications. A BOD is composed of a noun, which identifies the message content, and a verb, which identifies the action to be taken with the document. The unique combination of the noun and the verb forms the name of the BOD. For example, noun ReceiveDelivery combined with verb Sync results in BOD SyncReceiveDelivery.

The BODs are sent to Infor ION.

  • Configuring LN for BOD publishing
    To exchange data through BODs, specific configuration settings are required in LN and the other application.
  • BOD implementation registration
    You can specify custom BOD implementations, modify the parameters of standard and custom BOD implementations, and specify whether publishing must occur immediately or must be postponed through a staging mechanism.
  • Publishing staged BODs
    You can publish staged BODs.
  • BOD Monitor
    You can view the number of BODs present in the outbox, or staged. You can compare the earliest time stamp of the BODs to the current time. If the age of a BOD exceeds a threshold, an alert is shown.
  • BOD alerter
    You can compare the earliest time stamp of stored BODs to the current time. If the age of a BOD falls within a threshold range, an email can be sent to a configurable list of email addresses.
  • Integration of Infor LN with Expense Management and Payroll Application

    The interface between Infor LN with Expense Management and Payroll Application requires that Payroll Application and Infor Expense Management (XM) publish BODs with financial transactions that must be imported in Infor LN. These BODs include code elements.
