My experience has been that Baan creates a relational fileset ( a number
of files whose individual records are linked by keys). These files can
have fresh data appended to them if several exports are made before the
fileset is fetched by the EDI system. It is possible for a single
hierarchical file to be created instead (although the records still
contain the keys)

You can configure Baan to use such a sync semaphore file, and also to
archive the fileset once the semaphore is cleared, rather than having
the EDI system delete them.
This is behaviour as observed by an EDI installer (principally in
connection with the Bemis automotive interface), rather than a Baan
specialist!
