Product: Sage 300


If you're new to the Sage 300 integration it can be helpful to simply get a basic overview of which documents/transactions between Sage 300 and Transaction Manager represent what.

Various documents with Sage 300 can either be created by receiving an EDI Transaction, or used to generate one. It's helpful to know which document corresponds to which Transaction for this reason.
