The Infor connector supports transmitting EDI documents to and from the Infor CloudSuite Industrial (formerly Syteline) platform.

Key Capabilities

  • Infor CloudSuite Industrial EDI document exchange with XML to flat file conversion
  • Bidirectional file transfer with separate demand-side and supply-side folder configurations
  • Trading partner code identification for partner document management and archiving

Overview

Infor connectors perform two functions when sending or receiving EDI documents to Infor CloudSuite Industrial. When sending, the connector converts XML documents into a flat file structure accepted by CloudSuite, then sends the resulting file to the remote data folder where it can be picked up by Infor. When receiving, the connector polls the data folder for flat files, which it then converts into XML.

Establishing a Connection

The following settings are required to connect to Infor:
  • Trading Partner Code identifies the documents in the Infor system.
  • Inbound Data Logic Folder is for demand-side file pickup and drop-off.
  • Inbound Archive Folder is for archiving processed demand-side documents.
  • Outbound Data Logic Folder is for supply-side file pickup and drop-off.
  • Outbound Archive Folder is for archiving processed supply-side documents.
After these fields have been specified, the connector can exchange documents with the Infor system.

Sending Files

After a connection to Infor has been established, XML files in the Transactions tab of the Infor connector are converted to the Infor standard flat file format and uploaded. If Send Automation is enabled on the Automation tab, the connector automatically polls this folder for processing.

Receiving Files

Files that are found when polling Infor CloudSuite are downloaded to the Infor connector Transactions tab. The standard flat file structure is automatically converted into XML. If the Infor connector is connected to other connectors in a flow, the file is passed to the next connector.
