Transaction descriptions: Overview

A transaction is a package of data resulting from a processed document that Kofax ReadSoft Entrance transfers to another system after the document is processed. A transaction consists of one record.

A transaction description, which you create using Manager, is a template for the output data. It specifies:

• Which data is transferred (usually not its actual contents), such as:
  • Data from the processed invoices
  • Process-related data such as time and date (represented by system variables)
  • Your own data such as user name, project name, separators, headers, or any other information you find useful
• The format of the data:
  • Whether the data is text, digits or other characters
  • The length of each record
  • How data is justified and signed
• The layout of the data:
  • Where the data appears in the record (in a new line?)
  • How the different data items are separated (by commas? tabs? not at all?)
