Keep processing incoming files when some records have errors
Also listed as: Fault tolerance for inbound files
What is it?
Xelence can keep processing an incoming file when some records fail, within an error limit your team sets, and set the bad records aside for review.
Why does it matter?
Fewer whole-file rejections and less rework when a partner file contains a few bad records.
Start thinking about
- Which files and batch jobs are critical to your business cycle, such as contributions or payment runs?
- How are bad records in inbound files handled today, and who corrects them?
- Which partners exchange files with you, and which formats do they expect now and in future?
- What processing windows must your batch jobs fit, and what happens when one runs late?
- Where should staff sign off before automated file or batch steps take effect?
- How will you plan regression testing of your critical batch jobs around an upgrade?
