Responding to Documents
Introduction The Respond function automatically generates a response document by
transferring data from an inbound source document. The Respond function is only
available when all of the following are true:
◗ The In Drawer is the currently selected browser.
◗ One or more documents are selected.
◗ Turn Around translation objects exist for the selected documents.
Turnaround
documents
The Respond function creates a turnaround document (using the Turn Around
translation object from the Partner relationship
– see Selecting an inbound
translation object on page 3 - 62 for instructions) in response to the currently
selected documents. You can create a turnaround document for non-compliant
documents (documents with a NotOK status), as well as for compliant documents.
Modifying
documents
The documents generated by the turnaround process are placed in the Workspace,
where you can modify them prior to sending.
Note
To modify a document, a Screen Entry translation object must be set up in the
outbound relationship for the created document.
Reference
See Creating an Outbound Relationship on page 3 - 66 for instructions on setting
up an appropriate screen entry translation object.
