API features

Multienterprise Process Link, version 2026.2.0

The following new or updated API functionality will be included in this release.

Send and Receive Certificates Of Analysis in XML Format

Companies that own or link to Multienterprise Process Link can exchange Certificates Of Analysis with their Partners via TraceLink in XML format.

This feature helps customers verify product compliance, automate quality validation, and support efficient goods receipt, release, and traceability.

Exchanging Certificates Of Analysis asynchronously via Multienterprise Process Link allow systems to automatically validate results. Previously, customers reviewed paper or PDF certificates manually, which delayed release and increased the risk of errors.

Sending and receiving Certificates Of Analysis asynchronously through Multienterprise Process Link enables companies and their Partners to:

  • Search for, view, and troubleshoot Certificates Of Analysis messages.

  • Leverage a record of Certificate of Analysis details for business or compliance purposes.
