EDI / API Output

Formats

Outbound files can be supplied in a number of formats:

CSV	older files, not always available, usually will open in excel (will only support latin characters)
XML	widely used, will open in excel, usually readable by computer, supports all characters
PDF	limited in use only output where the information can be held within a page.

Sending Intervals

Generation of outbound information can be obtained as follows:

API	This is on demand service, you can not combine this with any of the other sending intervals.
Hourly	Each hour from 0400 to 2000
Daily	Between 0100 and 0500 each day
Weekly	Usually a sunday morning between 0100 and 0500
Monthly	Usually 1st day of the month between 0100 and 0500

How it works

There are two method in use

API - where you can call the report name throughout the day (this is subject to rate control to stop you calling it repeatedly)

eMail - where you schedule the report to run at a specific time and within the WMS you select which email addresses will receive the file when it is generated.

Timing for outbound report is determined by the warehouse. you can not specify a specific time.

Transactional Reports - When these are generated the transactions are marked as supplied, therefore you can not run API and eMAIL for this type of output.

Any data shown within the output examples is from our test system which does contain real customer names with a mix up of addresses, the data shown bears no resemblance to actual values held by our customers.
