Rule logs are a new Orderful feature meant to make it easier for you to troubleshoot a Relationship Rule or Transaction Type Rule. Now, whenever you are unsure about why or how a rule was applied to a property in your transaction, we show you a step by step evaluation of how the rule was executed. This is especially useful when a rule isn’t giving you the results you expect or when a rule is giving you an error.

Viewing Rule Logs for a Transaction

1. Click on the transaction
2. Go to the Rules Editor
3. Click the dropdown in the right hand side pane
4. Select 'Rule Logs'
5. Click 'Show Execution Log' for the rule you're trying to investigate

Reading Rule Logs

This is an example of the step by step evaluation. Expressions are evaluated from the inside out to reflect the logical order of execution. In this example the first three steps resolve references that will become the arguments used in step 4.

Notifications allow you to stay informed of significant events in Orderful. In this release, we are introducing three types of Email Notifications:

• Invalid Transaction
• Failed Transaction
• Rejected Transaction

These Notification types track a Transaction state change in which the new state of a particular transaction is Invalid, Failed, or Rejected. An Email Notification will be sent to users who subscribed to any of those Notification types via their Account's settings panel.

Subscribing to Notifications

To subscribe to Notifications, go to Settings and click on Notifications (under User Settings). You'll then be able to subscribe to any of the available Notification types by checking the box associated with the desired Notification type and clicking "Save Changes". To unsubscribe, uncheck the box associated with the desired Notification type and click "Save Changes".

In this example, a user who has subscribed to Invalid Transaction Notifications is notified by email that a transaction sent to a trading partner is Invalid because it does not meet the validation requirements of the trading partner. Read more about Transaction Statuses here.

Our Print View make EDI transaction data easy to understand with the naked eye and our web form feature allows you to create any transaction easily on our web site. Now, we've combined the power of both to allow for data entry in an attractive, simple package.

Supported transaction types:

• 204 Motor Carrier Load Tender
• 812 Credit Debit Adjustment
• 820 Payment Order/Remittance advice
• 824 Application Advice
• 850 Purchase Order
• 860 Purchase Order Change
• 864 Text Message

Overview

To start, go the transaction list and click 'New Transaction'. Once you have selected one of the supported transaction types above, you will see the new print view entry where you can preview the print view as you fill out the form.

As you focus on an input field and start typing, if the field is used to form the print view, it will be highlighted in yellow on the print view and display the value, otherwise, it will be shown under the 'Additional Fields'.

You can also click on the print view field or the additional field, and it will scroll to the corresponding input field on the form.

Once you click 'Save', if there are errors, they will be displayed both on the form and on the print view. You can click the errors on the print view or simply click 'Start fixing' on the new error wizard, and you will be navigated through the errors and be able to correct them.

Today we're announcing the launch of our lookup data feature. A frequent ask from customers and implementors is the ability to have a "scratch pad" of structured data that they can add to their transactions. With the new lookup data feature, you can now securely store information like product item data, vendor locations, or any other information in our flexible lookup data tables, and then apply this information to your transactions, all in just two easy steps.

Store your data

Create your lookup table by defining key-value data pairs.

Applying the data in the rules engine

Using the new LOOKUPDATA function you can write rules to reference your lookup tables and populate your transactions.

All data is securely stored and encrypted.

Changelog

• added: Lookup data feature

We've made the sign-up process with Orderful easier than ever. After your email has been verified, you can either create a new organization or join an existing one.

Create A New Organization

The process to create a new organization is unchanged – you enter your organization details, such as your organization's name and ISA ID, and your user account is then attached to this brand new organization, ready to start trading with Orderful.

Join An Existing Organization

Simply enter your organization's ISA ID and your account will be joined to this organization.

🚧

Authorized Domain

Your verified email must be from a domain authorized by the organization you wish to join. For example, if you work for Wonka Industries, then your email would have to be something like [email protected] to show you're a member of that organization.

Changelog

• added: Support for authorized domains
• added: Ability to join an organization on sign up

Guidelines now support select X12 versions in addition to the Orderful schema. This will speed up data entry as the guideline layout should map directly to the EDI specifications of a trading partner.

Here's how to add a new guideline for an X12 version:

• Go to the Guidelines page
• Click the 'New Guideline' button
• Choose a direction and transaction type
• Choose a version from the available options (options will change for each transaction type)

When you go into a versioned guideline you'll see that it looks very similar to your existing guidelines. The main differences will be in the naming and positioning of certain loops, segments and data elements.

Here's an example highlighting some differences between the Orderful and X12 4010 versions for the ISA (Interchange Control Header) segment:

Changelog

• added: Guideline Versioning

Introducing the Transaction Print View! Now you can see select transaction types in a familiar format that's easier to read than JSON (for most).

To see the print view, go to a Purchase Order, Purchase Order Change, or Payment. The print view will be visible by default.

To print your transaction, click the 'Print' button. If you'd like to include background colors, you might need to adjust your print settings in your browser's print dialogue menu. If you're using Google Chrome, you can do so under 'More Settings' by checking the 'Background Graphics' option.

If your transaction is Invalid and requires rule changes, or if you prefer viewing your transaction in JSON, simply click the 'Rules Editor' link and you'll be back to Orderful's familiar JSON view.

Changelog

• added: Transaction Print View for Purchase Orders
• added: Transaction Print View for Purchase Order Changes
• added: Transaction Print View for Payments
