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.
