Recombining the Transactions into the Batch EDI Document
When recombining the transactions to create the final batch EDI document(s), the batchProcess:
Adds interchange or TRADACOMS transmission headers with the following information:
Sender associated with the collection area
Receiver associated with the collection area
EDI standard associated with the collection area
Production mode associated with the collection area
Delimiters associated with the collection area
Other interchange values (for example, ISA01, ISA02, UNB01, UNB07) that the
batchProcess service obtains from the
ICheaderInfo EDITPA variables. If the value of an
ICheaderInfo variable is not specified, the
batchProcess service uses the value from the interchange header in the original EDI document. For information about the
ICheaderInfo variables, see
ICheaderInfo Variables.
Adds group or TRADACOMS batch headers with the following information:
Sender associated with the subcollection
Receiver associated with the subcollection
Group or batch type associated with the subcollection
EDI version associated with the subcollection
GS07 value that the
batchProcess service obtains from the
ICheaderInfo/GS/GS07 EDITPA variable. If the value of an
ICheaderInfo/GS/GS07 variable is not specified, the
batchProcess service uses the value from the group header in the original EDI document. For information about the
ICheaderInfo variables, see
ICheaderInfo Variables.
Performs FA reconciliation. The
batchProcess service tracks groups in the batch EDI document(s) for FA reconciliation. That is, for each group in the final batch EDI document(s) and for each functional acknowledgment (that is, ANSI X12 997 or UN/EDIFACT CONTRL), the
batchProcess service updates the EDITRACKING table, honoring the
FAReconciliation EDITPA variable. For more information about the settings for the
FAReconciliation EDITPA variable, see
FAReconciliation Variable. For more information about FA reconciliation, see
Reconciling Functional Acknowledgments.
Note:
Functional acknowledgments (FAs) are not applicable to TRADACOMS.
Creates one or more output batch EDI documents. The
batchProcess service determines how many batch EDI documents to create based on the
oneBatchQueue input parameter. That is, if
oneBatchQueue is
SINGLEOUTPUT, the
batchProcess service creates a single output batch EDI document. If
oneBatchQueue is
MULTIPLEOUTPUTS, the
batchProcess service creates multiple output batch EDI documents, each containing a single interchange or transmission. For more information, see
Indicating How Many Batch EDI Documents to
Create.
After creating the final output batch EDI document(s), the
batchProcess service creates a BizDocEnvelope for each batch EDI document that it created and sends each BizDocEnvelope to
Trading Networks processing rules. You create a processing rule that specifies the action to deliver the batch EDI document. For more information, see
Delivering the Batch EDI Document.
