Handling Conventions Required by Specific VANs
Each VAN has its own conventions and idiosyncrasies that you should be aware of when setting input parameters to the VAN:VANConnectivity:getFromVAN service to send EDI documents to a VAN, as well as when setting the input parameters to the VAN:VANConnectivity:putToVAN (VANFTP) service to retrieve EDI documents from a VAN.
For example:
Some VANs require you to provide account names when connecting, while others do not.
Some VANs have delineated inbound and outbound document boxes, while others do not.
Some VANs support the retrieval of documents based on a file name pattern, while others do not.
The availability and variety of reports, as well as the ways in which you access them, differs from VAN to VAN.
