Sample Process Models for UN/EDIFACT
The following diagrams illustrate how a sender and a receiver might set up criteria and actions for business processes involving UN/EDIFACT documents. See the tables after each diagram for more information.
Note:
The steps for sender and receiver are shown in single process models to illustrate how they interact. To establish these business processes, you create a separate process model for each sender and receiver.
The following diagram illustrates the processing of the UN/EDIFACT Interchange document.
Step
Description
1
The business process starts when a document (for example, SAP R/3 IDOC) is received from the sender's back-end system.
2
The sender sends a UN/EDIFACT Interchange document.
3
The sender waits for the CONTRL message (Functional Acknowledgment).
4
The receiver business process begins when the UN/EDIFACT Interchange document is received.
5
In response to the UN/EDIFACT Interchange document, the receiver sends the CONTRL message (Functional Acknowledgment) back to the sender.
Following any send or wait step, partners can choose to perform optional business logic.
