Stage fragment

This endpoint stages a fragment for outbound delivery.

POST/fragments/{fragmentGroupId}

You can optionally specify a mapping to transform the fragment to Stedi's Guide JSON format. If you don't specify a mapping, the fragment must match the Guide JSON format for the specified guide.

Fragments allow you to split large transactions into smaller chunks for easier processing. You can enable fragments for one repeated EDI segment in each transaction set and then split the transaction into chunks based on that segment. For example, if you enable fragments on the LIN loop in an 846 Inventory Inquiry/Advice, you can stage fragments containing batches of LIN loops. Later, when you call the Create Outbound Transaction endpoint, Stedi stitches the fragments together into a single transaction and delivers it to your trading partner.
