Sterling B2B Integrator - Submitting orders
An order type defines the nature of an EBICS transaction.
EBICS Client supports the following order types:
- Key management order type
- This order type is used for uploading or downloading technical information such as bank key, user initialization, key management, cancellation of orders, VEU, and so on. Key management order type is also called System order type.
- Bank-technical order type
- This order type is used for various upload and download transactions that happen between a subscriber and a bank. The contract signed between a bank and a partner specifies the order types the users can submit. The bank configures the order types using the Sterling B2B Integrator EBICS Banking Server. Bank-technical orders are classified as Upload orders (FUL) and Download orders (FDL). You can upload an order payload, that is submit an order to a bank using an upload order. A download order allows you to download a report or statement from the bank.
