Turning Inbound Control Number Validation On and Off
 
Activating Validation for ANSI X12 or UN/EDIFACT Documents
Activating Validation for VDA Documents
Activating Validation for TRADACOMS Documents
You can have the Module for EDI validate interchange control numbers, group control numbers, or both (or any combination of TRADACOMS transmission, batch, and file control numbers). By default, inbound control number validation is turned off.
Because you turn validation on or off using EDITPA variables, you can control whether Module for EDI validates control numbers for all sender/receiver pairs or for specific sender/receiver pairs.
Important:Module for EDI does not validate control numbers that contain non-numeric characters.
The following sections summarize the EDITPA variables used to turn validation on and off for each type of control number.
