ePortal is a online web-based eBusiness document transaction engine that offers subscribers many features.  The types of documents that can be transacted via ePortal are endless.  I am going to focus on EDI and XML for this blog post.

EDI Documents are eBusiness documents that often equate to an accounting document.  The receipt and transmission of EDI documents via ePortal provides our subscribers with the ability to conduct business via EDI with their Trading Partner on the Internet.

All EDI documents received at ePortal are displayed in three different views:

1. The Document In View displays the raw EDI that was received

2. The Document Out View displays the XML Data which is a transformation of the data from EDI to XML if the mapping is in place (stay tuned for a Blog Posting about this)

3. The “human readable” View

The transmission of certain EDI Documents to your trading partners can be handled two ways, manual entry via our online Invoice (810) and Advanced Shipping Notice (856) forms, an XML upload from your business location via the eBridge Integration product or secure FTP data transmission in an agreed upon format.  I will discuss the data views once they are present on ePortal which is independent of how they arrived at ePortal.  If you are interested in establishing a relationship with your trading partners via ePortal please contact our Sales Team at 1-800-755-6921.

All XML Documents received at ePortal are displayed in three different views:

1.  The Document In View displays the XML data that we received

2.  The Document Out View displays the resulting data which is a transformation of the data and may be to EDI or another agreed upon format

3.  The ‘human readable’ View
