As with any other type of EDI transaction that is included with Clever EDI, the types of transactions you wish to implement are setup using a "Document Agreement", as detailed here.

The only additional attribute that you need to consider that has been implemented specifically for 3PL capabilities is detailed below.

3PL Document Acceptance Type

This field is used to define what Document Attribute should be used to match information supplied from the 3PL for finding the relevant Business Central record, with options currently including the following.

  • Document No. - for the Document Type the system will match against the No. attribute of the associated record in Business Central using the Reference Document No. attribute on the Inbound or Outbound EDI Document
  • External Document No. - the system will find the Business Central record using the External Document No. attribute using the External Document No. attribute on the Inbound or Outbound EDI Document
  • Booking Reference - will match against the Booking Reference attribute found on the Business Central Warehouse Document using the Reference Document No. attribute on the Inbound or Outbound EDI Document
