Subcollections Representing a Group in the Final Batch EDI Document
Within a collection area are subcollections that are associated with the following items, which the batchProcess service obtains from the group header (or TRADACOMS batch header) of the document.

Each subcollection area has the same:

Group type (or TRADACOMS batch type)
![*](chapterTOC_bullet.png)
Version of the EDI standard (for example, 4010)
![*](chapterTOC_bullet.png)
Group sender/receiver (or TRADACOMS batch sender/receiver)

Each subcollection becomes a group segment (or TRADACOMS batch segment) within the interchange (or TRADACOMS transmission) in the final batch EDI document.
Note:
The batchProcess service provides an input parameter, createGroup, which enables you to add a group or a TRADACOMS batch.
The following figure illustrates an example of collection and subcollection areas used for batching EDI documents.
