    Question

    How to produce an EDI POL sample file (e.g. to send to a vendor during setup)?

    Answer

    An EDI order / POL file is created by setting up the vendor for EDI ordering, adding an order (POL), and sending it.

    More in detail:

    1. In the Vendor "EDI Information" tab find the section for "Vendor EDI Attributes" and click: Outgoing - POs.

    2. On the same page, configure S/FTP Connection. Click "Test FTP" to ensure connection.

    3. Create an order (PO Line) as you typically would for this vendor (e.g. Print Book - One Time).

    To the best of support team's knowledge, the Acquisition Type should be: Purchase.

    4. Click on the POL: "Save and Continue".

    5. In the Vendor "EDI Information" tab > Job Scheduling" node, click: "Run Now".

    The POL file should appear now on the FTP server.
