In a typical scenario of a data transaction, the data is transferred from source to destination. However, in some cases, a Company or Partner may need to further process the data received at the destination. For further processing of this already processed data, you would use post processing Transaction. 

Like any other Transaction, you need to create a Template first for post processing. A post processing Template will include a Process Flow published in Adeptia Connect. Based on your requirement type for the post processing of the received data, you can also use an already created transaction (for which Pre Process app is the source) instead of a Process Flow. You must use Post Process app in the destination to facilitate the creation of post processing Template/Transaction. 

You can create a Post Process Template either

• Using a Process Flow, or
• Using a Transaction
