Testing Phase Requirement A testing phase is generally required when a buyer and supplier are connected via an integration. If a supplier is using the portal to send and receive documents, testing is typically not necessary.For integrated connections, follow these steps to complete the testing phase:
  1. Open the detail view of the desired document type.
  2. Follow the displayed test instructions.
  3. Send the required test documents.
  4. Wait for validation from the trading partner.
The specific steps for sending test documents vary depending on the integration type. Detailed instructions can be found in the integration guide for your chosen integration method.
