How do I Submit a Document?

Document submission enables you to validate and hence ensure an error free document exchange process between partners.

Before you begin

• Ensure that you have a sample EDI or XML document with valid data to submit.
• Ensure that the size of the sample document does not exceed 2MB.

1. In IBM® webMethods B2B, go to Monitoring > Document submission.
2. On the Submit document page, select the type of document to submit. Select a file with a .xml extension for XML document and a file with .txt extension for the EDI document.
   Note: For all the supported EDI document types such as VDA, UNEDIFACT, X12, TRADACOMS and so on, select EDI.

   Alternatively, you can also copy and paste the content of the document.

   Note: You can choose to either drag and drop or browse the document or copy and paste the content of the document. When one option is selected, IBM webMethods B2B disables other options.
3. Click Submit. The Document summary section reflects the transaction details such as Transaction ID, Business document, Sender, Receiver, Processing status, and User status identified during document submission.

Next steps

On the Document summary section, click Transaction ID to view the transaction details such as Document Attributes, Activity Logs, Tasks and so on. The transaction details are displayed on the Transactions summary page. For details on viewing the Transaction page, see Viewing Transactions.
