Information Module for EDI Records to Reconcile FAs
 
FA Statuses
When an ANSI Group or UN/EDIFACT Interchange document is sent or received through Trading Networks, Module for EDI records an entry for the document in the EDITRACKING table. Regardless of whether FA reconciliation is on or off, the module always records information in the EDITRACKING table for Group/Interchange EDI documents that are exchanged through Trading Networks. However, the value that the module records as the FA status for the Group/Interchange EDI documents in the EDITRACKING table is different based on whether FA reconciliation is on or off.
When an FA is sent or received through Trading Networks, Module for EDI attempts to locate an entry in the EDITRACKING table for the corresponding Group/Interchange EDI document. The module uses the document IDs to match the FA to the corresponding Group/Interchange EDI document. The document ID of a Group document is the group control number. The document ID of an Interchange document is the IC control number. For more information, see DocumentID.
Note:
For Module for EDI to reconcile FAs with Group/Interchange EDI documents, the FAs and the Group/Interchange EDI documents must be exchanged on the same Integration Server.
The following table describes the information that Module for EDI records in the EDITRACKING table.
Type of document exchanged through Trading Networks
When FAReconciliation is true, Module for EDI....
When FAReconciliation is false, Module for EDI....
ANSI X12 Group
-OR-
UN/EDIFACT Interchange
Adds an entry to the EDITRACKING table for the Group/Interchange document and sets the FA status to None.
Adds an entry to the EDITRACKING table for the Group/Interchange document and sets the FA status to Disable.
FA
Attempts to locate the Group/Interchange document to which the FA corresponds.
*If Module for EDI locates the Group/Interchange document, it updates the FA status for the Group/Interchange document based on the status in the FA. For example, if the status in the FA is “A” (Accept), Module for EDI updates the FA status in the EDITRACKING table to Accept. For a list of values for the FA status in the EDITRACKING table, see FA Statuses.
*If Module for EDI does not locate the Group/ Interchange document, it adds an entry to the EDITRACKING table for the FA.
Attempts to locate the Group/Interchange document to which the FA corresponds.
*If Module for EDI locates the Group/Interchange document:
*If the current FA status for the Group/ Interchange document is Disable, the Module does nothing.
*If the current FA status for the Group/ Interchange document is None, the Module updates the FA status to Disable.
*If Module for EDI does not locate the Group/Interchange document, it adds an entry to the EDITRACKING table for the FA.
