An EDI trading partner agreement (EDITPA) is a set of variables that you provide to tailor how Module for EDI exchanges documents between two trading partners. Module for EDI supports partner-specific EDITPAs and a single default EDITPA.
* A partner-specific EDITPA has a specific sender and receiver associated with it and contains variables that Module for EDI uses only when processing documents that match the specified sender/receiver pair.
* A default EDITPA has a sender and receiver set to "unknown" and contains variables used by all trading partners when partner-specific information is not available.
During processing, Module for EDI first attempts to find values in the partner-specific EDITPA for the sender/receiver pair of a document. If a partner-specific EDITPA does not exist for the sender/receiver pair, or the value in the partner-specific EDITPA is null or empty, Module for EDI uses the value from the default EDITPA.
