Format Settings Reference for SAP Business One Hana (Service Layer) Connector

In general, Format Settings are used by workflow triggers to define how to handle and pre-process data that is fetched from a system. This setting is responsible for converting data from one format (such as csv or json) into Saltbox Message format (XML) so it can be processed by the workflow. Some Connectors apply a default Data Source Format automatically, while others require configuration. This depends on the Connector, and is outlined where appropriate below.

Refer to the details below.

SAP Business One Hana (Service Layer) Connector triggers utilize the following message formats:
