In EDI studio:

• All EDI transactions are logged in EDI history management (BisEdiHistory table).
• You can use the staging concept to validate data in an intermediate area before it is further processed. Several predefined staging journals are available for EDI studio:
  • EDI purchase journal
  • EDI Sales journal
  • EDI Delfor journal
  • EDI inventory journal
  • EDI transfer journal

To prevent the database from containing too much data, you can clean up the EDI history and EDI staging journals in recurring mode.

For example, you want to keep the EDI staging journals for six months. Each week, you can do a cleanup, deleting staging journals older than six months.
