  • When using direct OFTP, Ford will provide the data files to the trading partner immediately after creation. Files will also be provided on weekends and regional or national holidays.
  • If the trading partner misses message transmissions (regular cycles), they need to check the setup of their EDI system, as well as the operability of the communication line. The next step would be to initiate a transmission call to Ford in order for the outstanding missing data to be resent.
  • Orders are sent 4 times per day at 7, 10, 14, and 17 (UK time).
