# Set up buyer messages document flows

This flow explains how to set up the document flows for EDI messages that a buyer can send to or receive from a seller.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note**
> 
> Based on the outbound document flows as defined for a vendor, on the purchase order header, in the **EDI section**, options are selected. These options indicate which document flows apply to the purchase order. Usually, you do not change these settings. However, if required, you can switch off a document flow for a purchase order.
