Defining Document Type Information Using My webMethods

This procedure uses My webMethods to define information for the supporting TN EDI document types for each transaction set or file you want to exchange with trading partners. Trading Networks checks documents against this information to determine whether the document matches a defined TN EDI document type.

To define document type information using My webMethods

1. In My webMethods: Administration > Integration > B2B > Document Types Administration > Document Types.

2. Click Add Document Types.

3. Select EDI.

4. In the EDI Document Type dialog box, select the appropriate values for the following fields, and then click Create.

Field	Description
Standard	The EDI standard
Version	The version of the selected standard In TRADACOMS, the transmission, batch, and file document types each have a version. The version you are specifying here is the version of the TRADACOMS file document type (for example, v4).
Transaction	The transaction set (or TRADACOMS file) of the selected standard and version In TRADACOMS, the transmission, batch, and file document types each have a version. The version you are specifying here is the version of the TRADACOMS file document type (for example, v4).

Module for EDI generates the name of the TN EDI document type based on the standard, the version, and the transaction type you selected. This name is displayed in the Name field on the EDI Document Type Details page. You cannot edit the name of the TN EDI document type.

In addition to generating the name of the TN EDI document type, the module installs a flat file schema. For information about flat file schema namespace conventions, see Flat File Schema Namespace Conventions.

5. In the EDI Document Type Details page, specify the following:

Field	Description
Description	Optional. The description for the TN EDI document type.
Status	Whether you want the TN EDI document type to be enabled or disabled for identifying a document that passes through your system. Enabled—The TN EDI document type is enabled. This is the default. Disabled—The TN EDI document type is disabled. For information about the effects of disabling a TN document type, see the webMethods Trading Networks Administrator’s Guide for your release. Note: You can keep the TN EDI document type disabled until all the information for the TN EDI document type is specified.
