Using advanced parameterization, it is possible to partially automate the import and export of EDI documents, which will occur every time a user logs into the company. Manual import is also available even when automatic mode is configured. Additionally, further EDI extensions can be activated via advanced parameterization. The XML file with the advanced parameter is imported into ABRA Flexi via the menu Tools > Import > Import XML.
If you are interested in any of the EDI parameterizations, please contact our technical support. Configuring advanced parameterization is subject to a standard service fee in accordance with the current price list.
The configured parameters can be verified at:
{Váš server}/c/{identifikátor firmy}/parametr.xml?limit=0
see the demo application: https://demo.flexibee.eu/c/demo/parametr.xml?limit=0
Below is an overview of the individual advanced parameters
The parameter names listed correspond to their representation in the XML installation:
paramLoginImportEDIDirectory
function description: used for automatic import of received orders (ORDERS message) upon user login to ABRA Flexi from a selected folder on the PC
usage example:
<hodnota>c:\communicator\in\orders</hodnota>
Recommendation: we recommend organizing the c:\communicator folder into subfolders by message type (ORDERS, INVOIC, DESADV) to avoid conflicts during import/export.
You also have the option to install the EDI integrator communicator on multiple client PCs. For automatic import upon user login to ABRA Flexi, messages must be downloaded to a shared folder, such as OneDrive, Dropbox, etc. All users must have the shared folder accessible on their PCs at the same path, for example drive Z:\communicator\edi/... All users with access to the drive can then use the automatic import upon login.
Prepare the folders or shared drive from which the EDI files will be imported.
Next, create an XML file with the parameter settings and import it into ABRA Flexi.
Download incoming EDI files using the communicator into the designated folders. The next time you log in to ABRA Flexi, their sequential import will start automatically, and then they will be moved to the folder for imported files as configured by the following parameter
paramLoginImportEDIMoveTo.
