Select how BAPLIE Viewer reads the file

In almost every scenario, you can leave the default option as "Automatically Detect Contents" where BAPLIE Viewer Online automatically detects the type of EDI file that was uploaded. Occasionally you may wish to force BAPLIE Viewer to read the file as a BAPLIE version 2.0 file. This could happen if there was a problem with the header information of the EDI file which prevented the website from understanding that the file is a BAPLIE and which version of BAPLIE it should be.Upload-BAPLIE---Auto-Detect-Contents.png

Reading the file

BAPLIE Viewer will upload the file to our servers and perform validation checks to confirm that the file is a .BAP, .EDI, or .TXT file. It will then read the contents of the file, and confirm which EDIFACT EDI file has been uploaded.

Validation Failed

If any of the criteria used to validate the content of the BAPLIE file fails, then BAPLIE Viewer Online will inform you of the failure, and will try to explain the reason for the failure. The content of the file must adhere to the specification of BAPLIE EDIFACT files as determined by SMDG.org.

If you experience a validation error, and are not able to determine the reason for the failure, please click the "Contact Support" link and create a ticket for a member of our team to review the file content and explain the reason for the failure in detail.
