SageForum for UK versions of Sage 50- Help and support.

Hello,

we are currently dealing with a large supplier who proccesses huge ammounts of purchase invoices.
They have offered to send us electronic files which can be uploaded to Sage through the recall option when putting invoices on
what i want to know is, how do i create .SGT files?

our version is Sage 50 Accounts Professional 2010 16.00.17.0154

Thanks

It sounded like they were going to send these files to you, not the other way around so not sure why you would want to make them, maybe I have the wrong end of the stick.

The general term for this sort of thing is "EDI" (Electronic Document Interchange).

Sage has built in support for one type of EDI they call it T Mail, it is actually the BASDA eBiz xml specification. http://www.basda.org/standards/ebis-xml/

If these .sgt files contain basda e-biz format xml data than you can load them into sage via t-mail, you can configure t-mail to read them out of emails, or directories, it can also send purchase orders to the supplier.

If not then you will need to buy a third party add on to sage to do it for you.
