Transaction Response for E-Documents
A transaction response is a business level transaction where an e-document recipient acknowledges receipt or confirms that an e-document has been received. You need transaction response support in a DBNA network to automate responses from suppliers and customers for sent and received transactions.
To send the transaction responses, you must first enable the transaction response feature.
To enable the transaction response feature:
-
Go to Setup > E-Documents > Electronic Invoicing Preferences.
-
On the Electronic Invoicing Preferences page, click the subsidiary you want to update.
-
On the Subsidiary page, click Edit.
-
Check the Transaction Response Support box.
-
Click Save.
The e-documents transaction response uses a transaction response custom record to send and receive transaction response acknowledgments. A transaction response custom record has the following fields:
-
Response Issue Date – The date the transaction response was issued.
-
Direction – Indicates if the response is inbound or outbound.
-
Response Type – The status of the transaction response. The status is set to Acknowledged by default.
-
Transaction ID – The transaction ids for sent or received responses.
-
Transaction Response Content – The message content of the incoming or outgoing message.
-
Inbound E-Document – Reference to the inbound e-document associated with the response.
-
Status – Indicates whether the transaction response has been sent to the recipient.
-
Response Sent Date – The date when the transaction is sent to the DBNA network.
