XML Style EDI file creation

[ed briseño]

Hello. 

Its been a couple of years since I've used bots. 

I created an xml file that looks this format and it works to generate the EDI file.  

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<message>
<recid>5639863372</recid>
<invoiceno>CIN1635233</invoiceno>
<invoicedate >20260202</invoicedate>
<orderno>SON1035425</orderno>
<ordertype>Sales</ordertype>
<orderdate>20260202</orderdate>
<purchaseorderno>9982997590</purchaseorderno>
</message>

But when I use this XML format below it gives me an error stating it does not recognize the element. it does not like the space and underscore. 

example: <recid _

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<message>
<recid _="5639863372"/>
<invoiceno _="CIN1635233"/>
<invoicedate _="20260202"/>
<orderno _="SON1035425"/>
<ordertype _="Sales"/>
<orderdate _="20260202"/>
<purchaseorderno _="9982997590"/>

</message>

Is there a setting I can use to generate the EDI file using the second for?

Create a new grammar, or remove the underscore in a preprocessing

In the first XML <recid> tag has a value

<recid>5639863372</recid>

In 2nd XML it's attribute within the tag and not the value after the tag.

<recid _="5639863372"/>

Not sure if a new grammar to accept such format would be helpful but better would be to pre-process such file and convert into 1st type standard XML format.

This is not a Bots issue. 

Hope that's helpful.

Thanks,

Akhilesh Kumar
