Step 6: Test your inbound configuration

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~

2. Upload the test file to your input bucket:

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

   2. Choose Upload.

   3. Select your test-850.edi file.

   4. Choose Upload.

3. 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/

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

Expected results

• JSON file appears in output bucket within 2-3 minutes

• File contains properly formatted purchase order data

• CloudWatch logs show successful transformation (if logging enabled)
