Connections (window)

Settings > EDI > Connections

Export

On this tab, you set up EDI exports. The order events are exported to an XML file which can then be shared with the counterparty.

Function

Description

Batch intervals (minutes)

Specify how often the events should be exported. The events of all orders are collected together and put in an XML file.

Fixed batch time

Enter a time when the events should be exported. The events of all orders are collected together and put in an XML file.

Max. size for attachments per batch (MB)

The maximum size of attachments (e.g. carbon labels) per XML file. The default is 16 MB. There is no upper limit, but the RAM memory on the server may run out if the OrderService loads too many attachments. If the maximum size is reached, a new export file is created for the remaining orders.

There is also a cap of 100 orders per XML file. If the batch being exported contains more than 100 orders, a new export file is created for the remaining events in the batch.

Example: You export 100 PODs and each POD has an attachment that is 1 MB. This creates a total of 7 XML files, 6 with 16 orders each (96 MB attachments in total), and the last XML file contains 4 PODs (attachments are 4 MB).
