Overview

An ODLF is a document used to be able to export files out of GP Enterprise. This file is formatted to reference and pull data from Microsoft SQL tables. This is translated into an XML format to be consumed by your EDI translator, Transaction Manager. Any document exported out of GP Enterprise requires an ODLF.

Creating ODLFs

During your implementation process, the assigned Integration Specialist will either build or provide an existing ODLF based on the requirements set in the Trading Partner EDI mapping specifications. A 'black hole' ODLF can be provided to pull as much relevant data from GP as possible. For Transaction Manager integrations, this requires coordination with the Integration Specialist to make updates as needed using our Integration Mapping Tool.
