Enable Bulk Download of EDI Source Documents

The current process in IBM Sterling Inflight allows users to download individual EDI source documents from the transaction detail view. This works fine for individual file testing and reviews. An option to select multiple transactions and download the source EDI documents would allow use to use multiple files for EDI transaction testing. For example, if I wanted to review all ANSI X12 830 documents that have come in over the past 30 days, this option would allow us to download all of those source EDI documents.

What is your industry? Fabrication & Assembly
How will this idea be used?

This idea would be used to capture more than one EDI source document in a single retrieval rather than having to pull source documents individually. These files could be examined and/or modified to run through a map/maps in the CTE environment in bulk rather than one at a time.
