Files that have been read and saved by ONIXEDIT are valid ONIX files. You can thus send them as is to your business partners by email. However, it is preferable to submit your ONIX files in the format expected by your trading partner. To do so, you may first convert your files into one of the Specialized Formats that are supported by ONIXEDIT and then send the resulting file by email (Please see the section Saving a File in a Specialized Format ) On the other hand, the easiest and most automatic way to send your ONIX files remains the integrated Transmit to Partners tool.
