Generate Test Orders
Regardless of the communication method (EDI, API, Portal, etc.), you will use the Testing module in Stage Portal to generate your test orders and review the results of your testing.
- EDI/API/JSON/XML - all sent/received documents will be done through the connection you've established (AS2 or FTP/SFTP). You still need to generate the test orders in the Portal
- Portal - All activities will be completed through the Portal
- NOTE: You are able to combine actions. For example, you can do some actions via EDI and some via Portal (aka "mix and match").
1. Navigate to Testing.
2. If you have multiple Retailers (aka Partners), you may have the option to select which Retailer you would like to test. Select the appropriate Retailer by clicking View.
3. The listing of required testing cases to complete is provided. Click on Create A New Test Order for the first test.
- NOTE: When you generate the order, it creates a test order that will be visible in the Portal but will also send via EDI, API, etc. depending on your communication method.
4. Now that you have generated the order, you review the order. Click on the order number.
- NOTE: Below the order number, you can see the expected steps/documents you should be taking. The description on the left also includes more details on the actions expected.
- NOTE: Once you click on the order, you can see at the top of the order a link that takes you back to the Test Case page. It may take a moment (less than 30 seconds) for the test order to be "ready" to start taking action.
5. Once you complete a test, the status moves to Complete (green).
6. At any time, you can generate a new test order if you would like to start over, try again, etc. Just click on Generate A New Test Order.
