Transports guide

B2Brouter sends and receives documents using a Transport. For instance: email, Peppol, SFTP, FACe, etc.

Each Contact uses a Transport. B2Brouter sends documents to a Contact using its Transport.

There are some transports that require additional configurations, like credentials. You can use the Transport object to manage these configurations.

Configure a Transport

The code and enabled attributes are common to all transports:

1. code is the unique identifier of a Transport type. There is a list of available B2Brouter Transport types codes.

2. enabled enables or disables a Transport in the context of an Account

b2brouter transport

You can send and receive documents to and form other accounts within B2Brouter. It is an internal transport in the sense that it does not go through any external network, like Peppol or email.

To enable internal B2Brouter reception create a Transport with code b2brouter and reception set to true.

Peppol transport

You can send and receive documents to and from any Peppol participant.

To enable Peppol create a Transport with code peppol. If you want to send and receive documents set reception to true. If you just want to send documents, set reception to false.

You do not need to enable reception to be able to receive responses to the documents you send. For instance you will always have the capacity to receive a Message Level Response or an Invoice Response.

The Peppol transport publishes your reception capabilities in our SMP (Service Metadata Publisher).

email transport

B2brouter processes documents sent to the email address of the Account. The email address of an account is [the_account's_company_ID]@b2brouter.email. To enable email reception create a Transport with code email and reception set to true.

Credentials

Some transports need credentials. To be able to use those transports you need to setup their credentials first, with its code and your username and password. For instance you will need credentials to use:

• es.pecam - Spain - Autonomous community of Castilla la Mancha
• es.eusko_jaurlaritza - Spain - Eusko Jaurlaritza (Basque Government)

Some need an additional edi_identifier.
