How the Ftp Plugin works

The Ftp Plugin enables bi-directional communication between SEMINE and an SFTP server using UBL (XML) invoice files.

Send invoices (SEMINE → SFTP)

When invoices are posted in SEMINE, the plugin exports them as UBL (XML) files and uploads them to the configured SFTP folder.

• Each invoice is exported and uploaded as a UBL (XML) file
• The file name is based on the invoice ID (for example: 12345.xml)
• Files are uploaded securely to the configured SFTP server

Receive invoices (SFTP → SEMINE)

The plugin reads invoice files from the configured SFTP folder and imports them into SEMINE.

• All XML files in the configured folder are processed
• Valid files are imported as invoices
• After processing:
  • Successfully processed files are moved to the Success folder
  • Failed files are moved to the Failure folder

Folder behavior

• Main folder (Ftp folder): Used for both reading and uploading invoice files
• Success folder: Files are moved here after successful processing. If not configured, files will be deleted after processing
• Failure folder: Stores files that could not be processed

Tip: It is recommended to configure both Success and Failure folders to keep the main folder clean and avoid reprocessing the same files.

Test connection

After entering the configuration details, click on Test Connection to verify that SEMINE can connect to the SFTP server.

Warning: Ensure that the provided Ftp credentials and folder paths are correct. Incorrect configuration may prevent invoices from being imported or exported.
