You can use EDI studio to receive EDI message files from the AS2 web app. These EDI message files are stored in a general storage location. From the general storage location, these EDI message files must be distributed to specific storage locations from where the files can be processed by the applicable inbound messages.

To distribute the EDI message files from the general storage location, run the project inbound definitions. Usually, you run the inbound definitions in recurring mode. Always, all inbound definitions of the selected project are run. The inbound definitions are run in the defined sequence.

When an inbound definition is run:

1. It connects to the general storage location as defined by the connector.
2. The EDI message files that match the read filter are opened to search for this data:
   • Type: The EDI message type of the data in the file. For example, 'Order' or 'Invoice'.
   • Recipient: The data in the file that indicates to which company in D365 FO the data must be imported. For example, the GLN.
3. Based on this data, the applicable file distribution definition is determined.
4. The message, as defined for the applicable file distribution definition is used to:
   • Rename the EDI message file: If renaming is applicable, the source document of the message defines how the EDI message file is renamed.
   • Move the EDI message file: The source connector of the message defines to which specific storage location the EDI message file is moved for further processing.
5. If the inbound definition is mandatory, and an EDI message file cannot be processed, the EDI message file is moved to the error location as defined for the connector.
