useReverseRoute Variable
useReverseRoute EDITPA Variable
Default: false
The useReverseRoute variable indicates that when a UNG segment is not present in a UN/EDIFACT document, the partner IDs for UN/EDIFACT transaction documents will be determined as follows:
Value
Description
false
Module for EDI uses the ID and Qualifier portions of the UN/EDIFACT Sender/Receiver ID to determine the partner ID of the document. This is the default.
true
Module for EDI uses the ReverseRoute Id and Qualifier portions of the UN/EDIFACT Sender/Receiver ID to determine the partner ID of the document.
useInternalIds
Module for EDI uses the internal identification and internal sub-identification portions of the UN/EDIFACT Sender/Receiver ID to determine the partner ID of the document.
The qualifier is the normal Identification code qualifier, but the ID is constructed as follows:
<Internal identification>[:<internal sub-identification>]
Note that when no sub-identification value is present, this setting behaves the same way as the true setting.
Note:
Once your production system is running, do not change the value of the useReverseRoute variable. For example, if you send a document with useReverseRoute set to false, Module for EDI considers your partner ID to be the values of ID and Qualifier, and it stores these values in the EDITRACKING table. When you change useReverseRoute to true and then receive an FA from the receiver, the module tries to use the ID and ReverseRoute Id values to try to determine the sender of the FA you received. In this case, the module cannot reconcile the FA with the document you sent.
