Communicating Vendor communications
Context
The following example of this process is clearly outline for Orgill
During Orgill communications, TransActPOS downloads and then copies the received files into the Data01\Orgill-Data\Year\Month\Day directory structure. Each time that the Orgill communications starts the Data01\Orgill-Data folder is cleared of existing files. After the download, the files which are present in the Data01\Orgill-Data folder are processed.
If a xxxxx.OIN file was not properly processed but copied to the data folder, the system can be paused right after the download is complete and before the files within the folder are processed.
The TAIORCOMMPAUSE.TXT file signals the system to stop processing and allows the user to place the “missing” xxxxx.OIN file into the Data01\Orgill-Data folder. Once the file is placed, the user clicks on the pause notification button thus allowing the system to proceed thus processing the OIN (consolidated invoice) for the store.
