For outbound EDI documents, the service you create to form an outbound EDI document can access the EDIControlNumber table to obtain the control numbers to use for group and interchange headers (or batch and transmission headers) of the document. You can set the initial control number value you want to use for an outbound EDI document. For more information, see
Obtaining Control Numbers for Outbound
Processing (ANSI X12 and UN/EDIFACT).
