What happens to a file after it's uploaded in "Messages"?

When a file has been uploaded, a validation process will start in the background.

Generic validations exist for all messages and all message senders in the platform.
Generic validations are in place to make sure that all messages are uniform and follow the same logic.
Some examples are checksum validation on barcodes and GLN, legal currency code checks or that the supplier segment is present in the message header.

All messages, except for PRICAT, that fails the generic validations in the platform will be stopped prior import into the platform.

If no error occur, "Status" will be shown as "Complete”.Menu_Communication_Messages_Unpublished.png

“Complete” means that the file has been imported with no generic validation errors.
Example of error statuses could be “FAILED VALIDATION – REJECTED”.

A PRICAT can be partially imported if at least one item has passed the generic validation. The status will be “IMPORTED – PARTIALLY FAILED”.

In the example image above 12 items have been rejected and not imported to the portal. These items must be corrected in the PRICAT and uploaded again.

In the example above 112 items have been imported and can be validated and published.
“UNPUBLISHED” means that the PRICAT has not been published and sent to the receiver.
