So, I just got B2B Manager and I'm working to get my flows to show up on the EDI Activity dashboard. I've been unsuccessful so far and wanted to know if anyone else has had a similar hurdle and how they got over it.
@sreeneshc @rajeshbasavaraj can you all help out here?
Hi Jack, Are you using the legacy flow having the “version”: “1” file parser? If yes, the EDI activity dashboard is supported for “version”: “2” parser (FDR). Please refer to the help article ‘FAQs: Upgrade from legacy EDI to B2B Manager’ for more details.
I rebuilt the flow with “version”:“2” and am having the same results.
Hi Jack, would you mind sharing some specifics of your issue. Essentially any flows that would normally show up in ‘Completed flows’ should show up in the EDI dashboard, assuming they ran through one of our B2B Manager TP connectors.
Happily Adam (good hearing from you, btw).
Since I was in the middle of setting up a new client anyway I decided to set them up with the new B2B Mgr. setup instructions. I’ve used the suggested mappings and trimmed those down to what is needed. When I receive transactions the dashboard doesn’t update and I think that’s causing an error when I try to return a 997 is I get this error whenever I try. (support ticket 239379)
When receive 943’s I get this error. The Enum setting isn’t set anywhere in this map and the source = Internal which leads me to believe that it’s trying to validate a value set on the backend that I can’t control (Support ticket 239594).
I got a response back from support. Apparently, 856s and the 900 transactions (which are the most commonly used for public warehousing) aren’t supported until March so the module’s a bit useless for me until then. This is because while there is a workaround, it’s complicated and takes up endpoints.
I’m currently waiting to hear back from them whether it’s possible to skip the dashboard when sending 997s because that’s where it’s erroring most frequently.
Currently, our GS1 values only support the following Doc Type:
As you can see AR isn’t included yet but the good thing is, we’ve received a confirmation from our B2B team that there will be a plan to add more in March.
The screenshot above are the Doc Type that we are planning to be added in March.
No worries, there’s a workaround so you can still proceed with your flow. The workaround is having a 2-flow approach and the first one is about converting the GS1 value to PO from AR.
Basically it will be like this
1st flow: Export: Get the EDI (GS1 AR value) - we’ll have to parse it as CSV then the import would be FTP, at this step, we’ll have a script (can be Pre or postMap) that will convert the GS1 value to PO from AR.
(Export’s setting that will convert the file to CSV)
(Import’s hook script that will convert the GS value from AR to PO)
(In the import’s EDI generator helper, we just need to make sure that the file is converted accordingly to EDI)At the import as well, we’ll rename the file and put it directory that will feed to the second flow.
2nd flow: This is be similar to your current flow, but the exporting files are the converted files by the proposed 1st flow. Since that is converted to PO, it should now be parsed correctly and accepted by your Import.
I hope this helps, I’ve attached a sample zip file of a flow that you can use for this workaround. Please let me know if you require further assistance to this.

As an update, I was told that the 900 documents would be added in the March release which went live today. It still doesn't work for 940s or 943s.
Hi Jack,
This should be available by March 20th. Additionally, we’re making enhancements to ensure that no document type is overlooked, even if it means incorporating them within a short timeframe.
Hi Jack,
The above enhancement wasn’t included in the March 20th ad-hoc release. However, we are prioritising it for the April 10th release.
I checked the release announcement and didn't see any mention of B2B mgr there so I was curious if it was added before I start testing.
Hi Jack,
We intentionally left this out for now as we're in the process of making some UI updates. That said, the functionality you're looking for is already in place — our EDI dashboard now supports capturing all the following document types: - 204, 210, 214, 753, 754, 810, 811, 812, 850, 855, 856, 860, 865, 869, 880, 940, 943, 944, 945.

Is the 943 document type flow successfully run and persisted in the EDI dashboard prior to this 997?
Prior to this 997 nothing's worked in the dashboard since we got it because it didn't work for 943s yet and it still isn't there.
I have a similar situation. The EDI activity tab is showing nothing for Documents and this is with the NetSuite - EDI for B2B Manager Celigo template
@Antonio_Jr - can you please share your integration zip to my email. I would like to better understand the case and provide you a solution
This is a new implementation of B2B manager and still under development in Sandbox. Not sure if that has something to do with it.
I had a call with Shaik Shakeer Basha of Celigo last week. The reason this was still blank is that it's using the W04*06 to know when to populate this table and that value was blank on the EDI that I was using.
