In order to send an OFTP2 message you must first create an OFTP trading partner. See Adding trading partners. See Figure 225 below for an example OFTP trading partner. OFTP2 messages may be sent manually from the OFTP Messages module or automatically in response to server events using the Triggers module and related actions.
