Remote processing

Pre-processing can be done on data before it is sent (imported) into Supplier Exchange. Scripts used to process the data must be created and placed on the host computer. Through the remote processing component, the scripts are added to a trigger file. To work as a pre-processor, the trigger file must be scheduled to be transferred to the ERP/MRP to process files before they are pulled into Supplier Exchange. Preprocessing occurs only for scheduled sends (imports), not for manually published data.

You can establish only one pre-processing file; if you create a new pre-processor, Supplier Exchange overwrites the old pre-processor with the new data.

Post-processing can be done on data after it is received from Supplier Exchange. Scripts used to process the data must be created and placed on the host computer. Through the remote processing component, the scripts are added to a trigger file. Every time Supplier Exchange transfers a file to your ERP/MRP, Supplier Exchange initiates the script to post-process the transferred data.

You can establish only one post-processing file; if you create a new post-processor, Supplier Exchange overwrites the old post-processor with the new data.
