FAQ

IUNGO BDI guarantees that my business partner sends me all documents: eg. all confirmations, all Desadvs and / or all orders?

NO, it is up to the sender to decide which and how many documents to send (or not to send) to the recipient. Therefore, it is the supplier’s responsibility to decide whether to send all confirmations and / or Desadv to the customer, just as it is the customer’s responsibility to decide whether to send all orders to the supplier and update them after each change.

Can I modify the content of the documents sent through IUNGO BDI? For example. adding a field only for a specific recipient?

YES, the IUNGO BDI service only verifies compliance with the format for each type of document and the presence of “mandatory data” (as indicated in the technical specifications). The content of the exchanged data falls under the complete autonomy and responsibility of the sender.

Does IUNGO BDI check the meaning of the data exchanged ?

BDI guarantees the delivery and the syntax of the business documents, but not the meaning of the data. The meaning of the data contained in the documents exchanged, and any business rules, must be agreed between the partners, outside the platform.

Does IUNGO BDI guarantee that all data important to me are present in the documents I receive?

NO, IUNGO BDI guarantees the presence of the “mandatory” data required by the communication standard. If a document does not contain the “mandatory” information, IUNGO-BDI will reject it, informing the sender. It is the sender’s responsibility to enter any “optional” information that the recipient needs.

Who creates the connection between IUNGO-BDI and the supplier's ERP?

IUNGO does not make the connection between the BDI and the supplier’s ERP. The connector with BDI is the supplier’s responsibility.
