On the next page, click on a file recipient button. The file recipient is the EDI partner to whom the Collective Despatch Advice can be sent later.

On the next page you see on the EDI partner sales order from the INBOX. Activate the orders ☑ whose data you want to copy to the Collective Despatch Advice.

Finally, click the Create... button at the top.

A dialog window displays showing details of the steps to be carried out.
