With this service, BXN creates a customer specific set of business rules which each incoming messages must fulfill. Each time an message is sent to the recipient via BXN, the content is automatically validated to fulfill the requirements. If any information in the message is incorrect (for example, the item code on an e-order or the vendor ID on an e-invoice, or information on other e-messages), the e-message will not be sent to the recipient. Furthermore, an e-mail will be sent to the sender stating that the message has been stopped, including information of what needs to be corrected before it can be re-sent.
The content enrichment service is useful for companies sending electronic messages to recipients with specific demands on the content. For example, with the BXN content enrichment service an invoice can require a specific reference or a particular name or number the supplier’s financial system cannot handle.
