When you define a scheduled delivery queue for batching documents, you associate a schedule with the queue. When the schedule indicates, Trading Networks invokes the batchProcess service to act on all EDI documents in the queue to combine them into one or more batch EDI documents.

To create the batch EDI document(s), the batchProcess service:

1. Extracts the transactions or messages (or TRADACOMS files) from the EDI documents in the queue and sorts them. For more information, see Extracting Transactions and Sorting the Batched Documents.

2. Recombines the transactions or messages (or TRADACOMS files) into the batch EDI document(s). For more information, see Recombining the Transactions into the Batch EDI Document.
