Create transactions as sender or receiver

Orderful now allows you to create a transaction whether you are the sender or receiver of the transaction. 

📘

Before this release, Orderful only allowed you to create transactions if you were the sender of the transaction.

If you’re migrating to Orderful from a legacy system, this feature can help you to import existing live X12 transactions sent by your partner that you can use to test your integration.

You can create a transaction in Orderful using different methods:

• Using Orderful APIs
• Uploading a file (New feature)
• Manually using the webform feature
• Copying an existing transaction (Improved feature)
• Sending a file over an AS2 connection

When the creator is different than the sender, the creator of a transaction - you or your partner- is identified from the transaction list view or from the transaction page.

📘

When transactions are created by the receiver, the test stream is automatically assigned.

If your partner created an outbound transaction as a receiver on your behalf, you should see some features deactivated as a sender:

• Transaction notifications
• Rule writing and processing
• Guideline validation
• Functional acknowledgment
