About this template
What This Workflow Does
Service teams log into carrier portals to answer order status questions. This template runs on a schedule, downloads EDI 214 files from your carrier or 3PL SFTP, parses PRO number, PO number and status code, finds the Business Central order and updates its tracking status, and alerts Microsoft Teams on exception codes.
Key benefits
- Scheduled pickup — EDI 214 files are pulled from SFTP on a set schedule.
- Parsed for you — Status codes are turned into readable fields.
- Orders updated — Tracking status is written to the Business Central order.
- Delay alerts — Exceptions reach Customer Success in Teams.
Inside the flow
How the template works
On each scheduled run the flow lists and downloads EDI 214 files from SFTP and parses them to JSON. It finds the Business Central order by PO or PRO number, updates tracking status on normal progress and sends a Teams alert on exception codes.
Parse the EDI
Each file is parsed to JSON for PRO number, PO number and status code.
Find the order
appse ai searches Dynamics 365 Business Central orders by PO or PRO number.
Check the status
A decision step separates normal progress from exception codes.
Update tracking
Normal statuses are written to the order's tracking status field.
Alert on exceptions
Delay or damage codes send a Microsoft Teams alert to Customer Success.
