File. Create a service that processes the file contained in the File document. For example, form an internal-format document based on the file information and send the internal-format document to an internal application, such as a back-end system. For information about how to create this service, see Logic to Process a File Document.

Batch and transmission. Do not create a service. All processing for these EDI documents is handled in the processing of the file documents. You could set up processing rules for the batch and transmission documents that have no processing actions selected or set up your processing rules so the transmission document falls through to the Default rule.

Batch. Create a service that processes each file within the batch. For information about how to create this service, see Logic to Map a File Document to an Internal-Format Document.

Transmission. Do not create a service. All processing for the EDI document would be complete in the processing of the Batch document. You could set up a processing rule for the Transmission document that selects no processing actions or set up your processing rules so the Transmission document falls through to the Default rule.
