Setting Up Folders

Before you use the automated process for receiving and processing XML transmission response files, you must set up folders in your system to hold the XML files. You can set up the folders in any location to which the EU Invoice Response Processing program can write data.

  • Source Folder: You set up the source folder to hold the unprocessed XML transmission responses that you receive from the tax authorities through the transmission software. You can give any name to the folder. You will indicate the name and the path for the folder in a processing option. When you run the EU XML Response Processing program (R740002), the program looks in the specified folder for the unprocessed files.

  • Target Folder: You set up a target folder to hold the processed XML transmission responses. You can give any name to the folder. You will indicate the name and the path for the folder in a processing option. After the EU XML Response Processing program (R740002) completes the parsing of the XML response file and writes the appropriate data to the F740006T, the program moves the XML response file from the source folder to the target folder.

  • Working Folder: You set up a working folder which will be used by the EU XML Response Processing program as a temporary location while processing the response file. You can give any name to the folder. You will indicate the name and the path for the folder in a processing option. If the process fails, the system administrator can use the information in this folder to resolve the issues.
