Hello,

I am currently working on automating a workflow that includes the release of purchase orders and their transmission via EDI. For the delivery phase, I am integrating the PurchaseOrderHandling.svc/SendMessage API. However, while the workflow appears correct, the web service call is not triggering the expected transmission.

Hi ​@SolIslemT,

The BPA workflow itself looks fine, but SendMessage alone doesn’t guarantee EDI transmission. In IFS, EDI sending depends on Application Message generation and connectivity setup. Make sure the PO is released and supplier/message configuration is correct so that the standard EDI process is triggered, otherwise the workflow call will not result in an actual transmission.
