Module for EDI can validate the message structure of a VDA document. The VDA schema includes a trailer record that contains dedicated fields for each type of record in the schema. These dedicated fields should contain the number of occurrences of the corresponding record type. The module validates that the value of the dedicated field matches the number of occurrences of the corresponding record type. All control number fields are mandatory, and the module uses each field to check the completeness of a message.
You activate message structure validation for inbound VDA documents by setting the ControlNumberManagement/VDA/validateStructure EDITPA variable to true. For more information about this variable, see wm.b2b.editn.TPA:EDITPA IS Document
