01 / THE WORKFLOW

A file is part of a business process.

A partner sends a document. An application needs to receive it. Someone needs to understand what happened if the handoff is incomplete. Frame the exchange around that operational outcome.

The business task behind the document.
  1. 01

    Source

    Identify the system or partner that produces the file.

  2. 02

    Destination

    Define where it needs to arrive and how the receiving process uses it.

  3. 03

    Response

    Agree on the evidence that confirms the intended handoff.

THE WORK, MADE VISIBLE

The file arrived. Did the business handoff finish?

A supplier sends a file to a destination used by your ERP. Transport confirmation shows one part of the journey; application processing answers another. FileExchange addresses the movement between sources and destinations. Keep the business reference and expected response in the exchange design so delivery questions can be investigated precisely.

  1. 01

    Source

    The partner or system produces a file.

  2. 02

    Transfer

    The agreed connection carries it to the destination.

  3. 03

    Receipt

    The destination provides the expected delivery evidence.

  4. 04

    Business action

    The receiving application processes the information.

02 / THE WORKFLOW

Match the transfer to the environment.

Transport, authentication, file formats and operational responsibilities belong in the same evaluation. Bring the actual protocol requirements and partner specifications so the proposed scope reflects the work involved.

03 / THE WORKFLOW

Evaluating managed file transfer software?

Use the term as the start of a requirements discussion. Scheduling, retries, monitoring, access controls, retention and supported protocols are distinct capabilities. Confirm the functions your workflow needs rather than assuming they all come with any file-transfer product.

01

Transfer requirements

Protocols, endpoints, authentication and acknowledgments.

02

Operating requirements

Volumes, schedules, exception handling and monitoring ownership.

03

Business requirements

The process that starts when the receiving system gets the file.

04 / THE WORKFLOW

Make the next action clear.

Identify one file exchange that regularly requires manual follow-up. Document its source, destination, expected arrival and business owner. Use that example to define the delivery evidence and exception handling needed by the workflow before expanding to additional partners.

A CLEARER PICTURE

Questions worth
asking.

How is file exchange different from EDI parsing?

File exchange moves a file between systems. Parsing reads the structure and content of a document. A workflow may need both, but they are different tasks.

Can we discuss AS2 or SFTP requirements?

Yes. Include the required protocols, authentication and partner specifications in the integration brief so support and implementation scope can be confirmed.
