Documents
You can view the following for documents:
*Document attributes and content.
*Delivery and service execution tasks that are associated with documents.
*Log entries that describe the processing performed for the document.
*Comments associated with documents. You can also add or update comments.
If an administrator has saved a document to the Trading Networks database, you can send it through your Trading Networks system again. You might want to send a document through the system again in these cases:
*A document might encounter problems during document recognition or attribute extraction (for example, a document might have an unknown document type). You can address any issues (for example, ask an administrator to create a matching document type) and then resubmit the document. Trading Networks creates a new instance of the document and sends the new instance through the entire processing described in Assets and Processing. (The original document remains unchanged.)
*A document might need different rule processing than it received (for example, the document might have been processed by the wrong rule, or you might want to change the user status and send the document through the system again). You can address any issues (for example, ask an administrator to create a new processing rule) and then reprocess the document. When you reprocess a document, Trading Networks uses the document type it already matched to the document and the document attributes it already extracted from the document, but it compares the document to the processing rules again and reprocesses the document using the matching rule.
*View documents that are related in some way (related documents), as follows:
*Trading Networks automatically relates documents that are part of a business process.
*When you resubmit a document, Trading Networks automatically relates the new instance it creates to the original document.
*You can ask an administrator or developer to manually relate documents to one another; for example, you might want to relate a purchase order you received to the acknowledgment you sent in response. An administrator or developer can relate documents using the wm.tn.doc:relateDocuments built-in service.
