To combine your documents into a single file on Export, or to create one file per transaction, perform the following steps:

1. From the Foundry primary navigation menu, select Transaction Manager | Business System:

2. On the Business System page, select your company business system:

3. On the Business System Company Setup page, select Flat File Options | Single File or Flat File Options | Distinct Files.

  • Single file - will combine the same document types into one file
    For example, if you highlight 10 Purchase Orders on Export, they will be combined into one file of all 10

  • Distinct Files - will provide a file for each transaction
    For example, if you highlight 10 Purchase Orders on Export, you will receive ten individual files:

4. To assign a custom file name:

  • Select Export File and choose the document type.

  • Click Add Custom Option and then select File Name | Custom Name Option.

NOTE: You can repeat this sequence to add additional values to the naming convention.
