# Select And Generate

The Select And Generate option allows you to select and generate documents for a request; this option does not deliver the documents to a specified recipient. This action is a concatenation of 2 API calls, namely:

- Select
- Generate

When a request is submitted via a transaction XML, the EDS solution will perform the Select API call to identify documents/packages pertaining to the request. Next a Generate API call will generate the respective documents with the information provided in the request.

Click the Select And Generate option on the main Tool Suite page to begin.
