Status

  • Inbound processing - Working!
    • Develop componenet on JBoss Server which checks for new EDI documents on specified server(FTP).
    • Develop Adempiere class which handle import of EDI document into Adempiere instance.

Requirements

Outbound Processing

  • From the document Invoice (Customer) 8-Invoice (Customer).jpg

hit the "Submit EDI" button. "Submit EDI" button is active only after document is Completed.

    • Runs process that:
      • Look up the DocumentType to see what "Doc Type" to use.
      • Look up the BPartner
      • Look up right "EDI Format", "EDI Processor" for BPartner and DocType.
      • Read the EDI Format and the document lines to construct the EDI document.
        • Get the data strings using ColumnID, and use Type to decide which separator to use.
        • Order them by position.
        • Truncate lengths, validate usage.
      • Using the info from C_EDIProcessor submit the EDI document.

Inbound Processing

    • Use the scheduler to schedule a process that will poll according to the rules configured on C_EDIProcessor
    • Look up the Business Partner and EDI_DocType to determine which format to use to parse the file and which document type to create.
      • EDI element ST01 stores EDI code. Read this code and look it up in C_EDI_DocType.EDI_Code to return C_EDI_DocType_ID
      • EDI element ISA06 stores Interchange Sender ID. This represents a Business Partner. Read this code and look it up in C_Bpartner.C_EDI_Sender to return C_BPartner_ID.
      • Use C_EDI_DocType_ID and C_BPartner_ID to find the right C_BPartner_EDI record. This will tell you which doctype (AD_DocType_ID) to create, and which format (C_EDI_Format_ID) to use to translate the file.


As an alternative, C_EDIProcessor could define a JMS queue to post to. Then we could manage the movement of the data with ServiceMix.
