 | Create a Simple EDI Profile |  |
Tokens are used in EDI Profiles as a means for automatically
placing specific information in an email when the email is actually
created. There are a few basic tokens available for all supported
Document Types. For example, note the
</docnumber> in the File Name field of the
EDI Form window in the section called “Create a Simple EDI
Profile”—this will
be replaced with the actual invoice number when an Invoice is about to
be sent.
The following tokens are available to support EDI Profiles wherever they are used:
The document number (e.g.,
60096)
The Document Type (e.g., IN)
The primary key id for the document—this is a number used
internally by xTuple ERP and not normally shown to users (e.g.,
157)
A human-meaningful version of the Document Type (e.g.,
Invoice)
The primary key id for the document, named for the primary
key field of that document (e.g.,
</invchead_id>)
You can also define your own tokens to build more interesting and general EDI Profiles. See the section called “Defining New EDI Tokens” in Chapter 5, Advanced EDI for more information on how to do this.
