For each EDI document in the queue, the batchProcess service extracts the transactions in the EDI document and sorts them. The following list describes how the batchProcess service processes the EDI documents in the queue when the documents have interchange headers or TRADACOMS transmission headers. For information about how the batchProcess service sorts EDI documents in the queue that do not have interchange or transmission headers, see When EDI Documents Have No Interchange or Transmission Header.
For each transaction in an EDI document:
1. The batchProcess service extracts a transaction from the EDI document.
2. The batchProcess service uses the sender/receiver from the interchange or transmission header of the EDI document to locate the EDITPA variables to use. For more information about the EDITPA variables that the batchProcess service uses, see Controlling How the batchProcess Service Forms the Batch Document.
3. The batchProcess service sorts the transactions. For more information, see Sorting Transactions in the Queued Documents.
4. Each queued EDI document is associated with a Trading Networks delivery task. After all transactions for an EDI document have been extracted, the batchProcess service updates the task status. For more information, see Updating the Task Status and Publishing Documents for Failed Tasks.
