<a name="inbound-tutorial-step6-testing"></a>

Testing ensures your complete inbound workflow functions correctly before processing real business documents. This validates that all components work together and helps identify any configuration issues.

**To test your configuration**

1. Create a test EDI file named `test-850.edi` with this content:

   ```
   ISA*00*          *00*          *ZZ*SUPPLIER       *ZZ*ACMECORP       *230101*1200*U*00401*000000001*0*P*>~
   GS*PO*SUPPLIER*ACMECORP*20230101*1200*1*X*004010~
   ST*850*0001~
   BEG*00*SA*TEST123**20230101~
   N1*ST*ACME CORPORATION~
   N3*456 TEST AVENUE~
   N4*TESTCITY*CA*90210*US~
   PO1*1*5*EA*15.50**BP*TEST001*VN*TEST-WIDGET~
   PID*F****TEST PREMIUM WIDGET~
   SE*8*0001~
   GE*1*1~
   IEA*1*000000001~
   ```

1. Upload the test file to your input bucket:

   1. Navigate to **my-b2bi-input-bucket-{{your-account-id}}** in the Amazon S3 console.

   1. Choose **Upload**.

   1. Select your `test-850.edi` file.

   1. Choose **Upload**.

1. Monitor the transformation:
   + Wait 2-3 minutes for processing
   + Check your output bucket for the transformed JSON file
   + The output will be in a directory structure like: `{{partnership-id}}/{{capability-id}}/processed/`

1. Verify the JSON output contains the expected purchase order data.
