Remote processing
The data can be preprocessed before sending the data (imported) to
Supplier Exchange.
Scripts used to process the data must be created and saved on the host
computer. The scripts are added to a trigger file using the remote processing
component. The trigger file can be used as a pre-processor, if the file is
scheduled to be transferred to the ERP/MRP. These files are then processed to
be received in
Supplier Exchange.
Preprocessing is possible only when the data is scheduled to be sent (imports),
and not when the data is published.
Note: Only one preprocessing file can be created. If a new preprocessor
is created,
Supplier Exchange
overwrites the data in the old preprocessor with the new data.
The data can be postprocessed after the data is received from Supplier
Exchange. Scripts used to process the data must be created and saved on the
host computer. The scripts are added to a trigger file using the remote
processing component. Each time Supplier Exchange transfers a file to the
customer's ERP/MRP, the script is initiated to postprocess the transferred
data.
Note: Only one postprocessing file can be created. If a new
post-processor is created,
Supplier Exchange
overwrites the data in the old postprocessor with the new data.
