Generating Interchange Acknowledgments
When an X12 interchange contains a control header and trailer envelope that surround one or more functional groups, an Interchange Acknowledgment (TA1) notifies the sender whether the receiver successfully processed the interchange header and trailer.
The TA1 does not report the status of the functional groups and transaction sets within the interchange envelope.
The format of a TA1 looks as follows:
Field
Description
Interchange control number
Uniquely identifies the interchange. The sender assigns the interchange control number, which, along with the sender ID, uniquely identifies the interchange data to the recipient.
Interchange date
Indicates the date, in YYMMDD format, when the interchange was prepared. For example, if the interchange was prepared on January 2, 2014, the interchange date would be 140102.
Interchange time
Indicates the time, in 24-hour format (HHMM), when the interchange was prepared.
Interchange acknowledgment code
Indicates the Interchange Acknowledgment Code, as agreed upon by trading partners. Valid values are:
*A—Accepted
*R—Rejected
*E—Accepted, but the file contains errors and must be resubmitted.
TA1 code
A three-digit number that corresponds to a TA1 code. For more information about TA1 codes, see TA1 Status and TA1 Code.
Module for EDI provides a built-in service, wm.b2b.edi:generateX12TA1, to generate a TA1 acknowledgment. While generating the TA1 acknowledgment, this service provides the option to include a functional acknowledgment, as well. To generate a TA1 with or without an FA, you invoke the generateX12TA1 service from the service that you create to process an EDI document.
For more information about the wm.b2b.edi:generateX12TA1 service, see webMethods Module for EDI Built-In Services Reference .
