Logic to Include in the Service to Process EDI Documents
You can perform any processing on the EDI document that you want. For example, you can:
Map information from the EDI document into one or more internal-format documents. The internal-format is the format that an internal application (for example, a back-end system) requires. Then send the internal-format document to the internal application.
Map information from the EDI document to the inputs of a service and then invoke the service.
This chapter focuses on the first case, mapping data to format an internal-format document. However, you can apply the principles that are presented to other processing you might want to accomplish.
Additionally, you can generate and send functional acknowledgments (FAs) for EDI documents. For more information, see
Generating Acknowledgments.
