On the document flow, set the 'Warehouse - Receipts list to XML' message. This message sends the receipts list to the 3PL warehouse. You can choose to exchange this EDI message using a web service. In this case, instead of the message, use an outbound web service action with the 'Warehouse - Receipts list to XML' message as request message. Procedure 1. Click Connectivity studio EDI Party setup. 2. Click the Document flow tab. 3. Click New. 4. You can use origins to indicate where messages originate from. For example, a message can originate from EDI, a web shop, or a customer self-service portal. You can set the origin to indicate that the document flow only applies to messages with the same origin. In the Origin field, enter or select a value. Note: If you do not define an origin, the document flow only applies to messages that also don't have the origin defined. 5. In the Account code field, select 'Site' or 'Warehouse'. Note: You can also select 'EDI group' to link the document flow to an EDI group. As a result, the document flow is applied to all EDI parties with the EDI group assigned. 6. In the Account selection field, enter or select a value. 7. In the Document flow field, select 'Receipts list'. 8. In the Direction field, select 'Outbound'. 9. In the Number sequence field, enter or select a value. 10. Select the Test check box. 11. In the Message field or in the Web service action field, enter or select a value. 12. In the outbound queue, several entries can exist for a unique message or web service action. For an outbound document flow, you can bundle the entries for the applicable message or web service action. The outbound queue entries are bundled by the applicable EDI party. On processing the outbound queue, the entries are bundled in one message run or web service action run, which results in one file. Select the Bundle outbound queue by message check box. Note: - If, for the document flow, the account code is EDI group, the outbound queue entries are bundled by each EDI party as set up for the EDI group. - You can also apply bundling to the Additional setup of an outbound document flow. 13. Select the Flow condition check box. 14. You can define a target connector for a document flow. This target connector overrules the target connector of the document flow message. In this way, you can use one message to send an EDI message to several EDI parties. So, no separate message is required for each of the EDI parties. In the Connector field, enter or select a value. Note: To apply a document flow target connector: For each target, enter a document flow with the same message but a different target connector. The target connector you define for the document flow must match the type of the target connector of the message. If the message connector type is: D365 FO -> D365 FO Database -> Database Staging journal -> Staging journal Azure file storage, Azure Blob Storage, and SharePoint are interchangeable. Connectors of type 'Web service' or 'Upload and download' are not supported. The data structure of the different targets must be the same. 15. Clear the Active check box. 16. Close the page.
