Create record action

Use the Create record action to create a record in Orderful, such as a Transaction or Acknowledgment.

SUPPORTED TRANSACTION FORMATS

The Create record action supports creating transactions in both X12 and JSON formats. However, it supports creating an acknowledgment for JSON transactions only.

Acknowledgments for X12 transactions should be sent as 997 Functional Acknowledgments by the backend system that ingests the X12 file.

Orderful is configured to automatically acknowledge transactions by default, though this setting can be modified at the account and relationship level. You do not need to create an acknowledgment using the Create record action when automatic acknowledgments are enabled.

Refer to Orderful's documentation for more information about acknowledging a transaction (opens new window).
