Inboxes
An Inbox is a service provided by an ESCI supplier that that contains responses to OpenVPMS orders for a particular Stock Location.
These are stored as documents that conform to the UBL specification.
An Inbox may contain two types of documents:
- OrderResponseSimple - a response to an OpenVPMS order, indicating if it has been accepted or rejected
- Invoice - an invoice for an OpenVPMS order. OpenVPMS uses these to create Delivery records.
OpenVPMS processes the responses sequentially, acknowledging them as they are successfully processed.
If a response cannot be processed due to an error, no other responses in the Inbox can be processed until the error is resolved.
Inbox
The Inbox window displays pending documents from the selected Supplier and Stock Location and enables them to be managed.
This can be used to:
- selectively process documents, ignoring errors in Invoice documents that refer to non-existent orders
- administratively delete a document that cannot be processed
This provides the following the functions:
|
refresh the list of pending documents. |
|
process the selected document.
|
|
delete the selected document. This should only be used where a document cannot be processed due to some unrecoverable error. |
