You may want to determine the status of a conversation when your supplier or trading partner does not receive your purchase order. Monitor is a utility that allows you to monitor RosettaNet conversations to track the status of a transaction.

For example, let’s say that you initiate a PIP 3A4 Request Purchase Order process for 30 PCs and send the PO to your trading partner. The next day, your trading partner states that the PO never arrived. In RosettaNet Module, you would be able to view the conversation history to determine the current status of the transaction and why it failed or was interrupted.

By monitoring the conversation, you can determine why your partner never received the PO and whether it was re-sent to the partner. By viewing the current status and progress of a RosettaNet transaction, you can take appropriate action, which might include retrying the conversation, editing your trading partner profiles, or editing your process models.
