Configuring to receive orders
You can submit orders by either uploading PDFs through the Submit Jobs portlet or by submitting an XML file from your existing order management system.
To submit orders manually through the Submit Jobs portal, the only other objects required are workflows that process the jobs.
When submitting an XML file you must create:
- An input device to receive the orders and send them to a specific workflow.
- A workflow that includes the CreateOrderFromFile step, to create the order and its jobs.
- An Order property mapping to identify orders and jobs, as well as which elements in the XML match properties in RICOH ProcessDirector.
- One or more other workflows to processes the jobs correctly.
