Detect the inventory change
The flow starts when inventory is updated in Sage X3.
About this template
What This Workflow Does
Trading partners expect current stock levels, but building an EDI 846 by hand after every Sage X3 change is slow and error prone. This template starts when inventory is updated in Sage X3, builds the EDI 846 with OpenAI, uploads it to your FTP/SFTP destination and alerts Microsoft Teams when a configured stock condition is met.
Key benefits
- Event driven — Each Sage X3 inventory update starts the flow, so partners get current availability.
- No manual EDI files — OpenAI turns the stock data into a structured EDI 846 without hand keying.
- Direct partner delivery — The finished file is uploaded to the configured FTP/SFTP folder.
- Early stock warnings — A stock check after upload alerts the right person in Microsoft Teams.
Inside the flow
How the template works
A Sage X3 Inventory Updated event starts the flow, OpenAI builds and converts the EDI 846, and the file is uploaded over FTP/SFTP. A stock condition check then sends a Microsoft Teams message when attention is needed.
Select the needed fields
Only the stock fields required for the outgoing message are kept.
Build the EDI 846 content
OpenAI creates the inventory advice content from the updated stock data.
Convert to an EDI 846 file
The content is converted into a structured format and then into the EDI 846 file.
Upload to FTP/SFTP
The EDI 846 file is uploaded to the configured partner destination.
Check stock and alert
The flow checks stock against the configured condition and sends a Microsoft Teams message when it is met.
Business Benefits
Keep trading partners current on stock without building EDI files by hand.
01
Timely inventory updates
Each inventory change starts the publish process, so partners do not wait on a manual file.
02
Less manual EDI work
Field selection, EDI 846 creation, conversion and upload run without hand work.
03
Fewer transcription errors
The file is built from the Sage X3 data captured by the flow, not retyped figures.
04
Faster partner delivery
The finished EDI 846 is uploaded as soon as it is ready.
05
Early alerts on stock issues
Microsoft Teams messages flag stock conditions before they reach customers.
