Inbound Transmission Staging and Processing

A Transmission is ready to be processed when it is in the STAGED state, which means it has been parsed and all Transactions and Process groups have been determined.

However, for certain scenarios it is feasible that transactions that should be processed together do not all arrive in one Transmission. For example, depending on the message routing for various applications, a Tracking Event transaction could arrive from a WMS system a few seconds before the transaction from a Planning system which actually creates the shipment to which the tracking event should apply.

Transportation and Global Trade Management Cloud supports this scenario by using Staging Transmissions.

Staging Transmissions are identified by a TransmissionType of STAGING. This is an indication that processing can be delayed until some later time or event. The logic which should be applied to the Staging Transmission must be defined in the StagingInfo content.
