Depending on the level of automation, several steps are required to automate the receipt and dispatch of EDI messages:

 

1.In order for EDI messages to be processed at all, EDI processing must first be activated for the respective partner (see Set up a partner for EDI processing).

2.Then you can already configure globally for each registered message type whether and, if so, which tasks, such as printing and sending, are to be executed automatically (see Message type configuration).

3.Received messages can be exported automatically and converted in the process, and thus made available to your in-house system, for example (see Export received EDI data).

4.Conversely, files can be imported automatically, converted from an in-house format (flat file, CSV, XML, etc.) into the required message format (VDA, EDIFACT, ASC X12, etc.) and then sent to the relevant partner (see Importing outbound EDI Data).
