B2B Add-on SP4: B2B Alerts

[Dimitri]

Imagine you receive several thousands of EDI interchanges containing multiple individual EDI messages. Some of them go wrong and a negative acknowledgement is generated and being sent back. Within the monitoring, this can be identified, but more easily would be having an alert in your mailbox indicating the error and providing all necessary information.

You configure alerts in a B2B landscape to handle exceptional situations occurring during B2B communication. Alerts report about the EDI Service Level Agreement (SLA) violations, EDI acknowledgement statuses, and AS2 negative MDNs (inbound and outbound).
