Partner Information You Need to Define When Using TRADACOMS

For...	Define...
Transmission sender/receiver pairs	Trading partner profiles for each transmission sender and receiver. For more information, see Defining Trading Partner Profiles When Using TRADACOMS.
Tailoring how Module for EDI processes documents	Default EDITPA that defines the settings that you want to use for most partner pairs. Partner-specific EDITPA for each transmission sender/receiver pair for which you want to override the settings in the default EDITPA. For more information, see Defining EDI Trading Partner Agreements When Using TRADACOMS.
How Module for EDI validates inbound control numbers	Whether to validate control numbers. Actions that Module for EDI takes when encountering an invalid control number. Control number validation settings (that is, maximum, minimum, increment, and window). Note: The term control number is used in the non-TRADACOMS EDI standards to refer to a number in an EDI document header. This number is used to validate and order the documents exchanged between trading partners. A control number in a non-TRADACOMS document is equivalent to the transmission reference number in the STX and BAT segments of TRADACOMS documents. Regardless of whether your EDI standard includes control numbers or transmission reference numbers, you define them the same way in Trading Networks; the only difference is in the terminology. For simplicity, Trading Networks and Module for EDI use the term control number to mean either control number or transmission reference number.
