Prerequisites
You should perform these tasks beforehand:
- Create an LSP connection point in ION
- LSP Direct utilizes the connectivity of the LSP service. You must create your accounting entity through Accounting Entity Maintenance and then configure your service using either the LSP Web Services Gateway or ION API as if generating the document within LSP
- Retrieve LCLFileTransferIn and LCLFileTransferOut BOD from KB article #1594828 and import into the ION BOD desk (on-premise only)
This solution allows an ERP, which already generates the proprietary format, to use LSP’s connector capability through ION API/LSP web services gateway. You can directly submit your proprietary messages from your ERP and receive responses back.
Note: The general rule regarding electronic signatures is that if it is in
the XML then it is the responsibility of the ERP to provide; if it is part of the gateway
request then it will be handled by the LSP Web Services Gateway.
