Creating the Batch EDI Document when Using SINGLEOUTPUT

Creating the Batch EDI Document when Using MULTIPLEOUTPUTS

When recombining the transactions to create the final batch EDI document(s), the batchProcess:

Adds interchange or TRADACOMS transmission headers with the following information:

Sender associated with the collection area

Receiver associated with the collection area

EDI standard associated with the collection area

Production mode associated with the collection area

Delimiters associated with the collection area

Other interchange values (for example, ISA01, ISA02, UNB01, UNB07) that the batchProcess service obtains from the ICheaderInfo EDITPA variables. If the value of an ICheaderInfo variable is not specified, the batchProcess service uses the value from the interchange header in the original EDI document. For information about the ICheaderInfo variables, see ICheaderInfo Variables.

Adds group or TRADACOMS batch headers with the following information:

Sender associated with the subcollection

Receiver associated with the subcollection

Group or batch type associated with the subcollection

EDI version associated with the subcollection

GS07 value that the batchProcess service obtains from the ICheaderInfo/GS/GS07 EDITPA variable. If the value of an ICheaderInfo/GS/GS07 variable is not specified, the batchProcess service uses the value from the group header in the original EDI document. For information about the ICheaderInfo variables, see ICheaderInfo Variables.

Performs FA reconciliation. The batchProcess service tracks groups in the batch EDI document(s) for FA reconciliation. That is, for each group in the final batch EDI document(s) and for each functional acknowledgment (that is, ANSI X12 997 or UN/EDIFACT CONTRL), the batchProcess service updates the EDITRACKING table, honoring the FAReconciliation EDITPA variable. For more information about the settings for the FAReconciliation EDITPA variable, see FAReconciliation Variable. For more information about FA reconciliation, see Reconciling Functional Acknowledgments.

Note: Functional acknowledgments (FAs) are not applicable to TRADACOMS.

Creates one or more output batch EDI documents. The batchProcess service determines how many batch EDI documents to create based on the oneBatchQueue input parameter. That is, if oneBatchQueue is SINGLEOUTPUT, the batchProcess service creates a single output batch EDI document. If oneBatchQueue is MULTIPLEOUTPUTS, the batchProcess service creates multiple output batch EDI documents, each containing a single interchange or transmission. For more information, see Indicating How Many Batch EDI Documents to Create.

After creating the final output batch EDI document(s), the batchProcess service creates a BizDocEnvelope for each batch EDI document that it created and sends each BizDocEnvelope to Trading Networks processing rules. You create a processing rule that specifies the action to deliver the batch EDI document. For more information, see Delivering the Batch EDI Document.
