ControlNumberManagement Variables

Note:

When you are using non-standard processing, Module for EDI does not use this EDITPA variable. Instead, it uses the Validate inbound envelope control numbers setting that you set from the Interchange Information Detail panel of the module’s home page. For more information about accessing and using this panel, see Defining Interchange-Level Sender/Receiver Pair Information.

The ControlNumberManagement/validateInboundEnvelopeControlNumbers variable indicates whether you want the module to validate and track control numbers in the interchange headers of inbound EDI documents. For more information, see Trading Networks Attributes and EDI Documents.

Value	Description
true	Module for EDI validates and tracks control numbers in the interchange headers of inbound EDI documents.
false	Module for EDI does not validate or track control numbers in the interchange headers of inbound EDI documents.

The ControlNumberManagement/validateInboundGroupControlNumbers variable indicates whether you want Module for EDI to validate and track control numbers in the group headers of inbound EDI documents. For more information, see Trading Networks Attributes and EDI Documents.

Value	Description
true	Module for EDI validates and tracks control numbers in the group headers of inbound EDI documents.
false	Module for EDI does not validate or track control numbers in the group headers of inbound EDI documents.

Note:

When you are using non-standard processing, this EDITPA is only used for duplicate group control numbers. To set the action for duplicate interchange control numbers, use the Duplicate control number action setting that you set from the Interchange Information Detail panel of the Module for EDI home page. For more information about accessing and using this panel, see Defining Interchange-Level Sender/Receiver Pair Information.

The ControlNumberManagement/duplicateControlNumberAction variable indicates the action you want Module for EDI to take when it encounters a duplicate control number in an inbound document when it is validating interchange and/or group control numbers.

Value	Description
Error & Continue	Module for EDI logs the error and then continues to process the EDI document that contains the invalid control number normally.
ProcessNormally	Module for EDI logs a warning and processes the EDI document that contains the invalid control number normally.
Reject	Module for EDI logs the error and does not process the document normally. The module does not split the EDI document. Typically, the module splits an inbound EDI based on the EDITPA splitOption variable and sends the documents it splits out to Trading Networks for processing. However, if you set the action to Reject, the module sends the document without splitting it to Trading Networks processing rules. Additionally, Module for EDI sets the Trading Networks custom attribute EDI Status to Duplicate Control Number. You can use the custom attribute EDI Status in processing rule criteria. You should create a processing rule to handle this rejected document. For information, see Defining Processing Rules to Handle Documents with Invalid Control Numbers. You can force processing of the duplicate document later, if you want. For more information, see Reprocessing EDI Documents with Invalid Control Numbers.

Note:

When you are using non-standard processing, this EDITPA is only used for duplicate group control numbers. To set the action for out of sequence interchange control numbers, use the "out of sequence control number action" setting that you set from the Interchange Information Detail panel of the Module for EDI home page. For more information about accessing and using this panel, see Defining Interchange-Level Sender/Receiver Pair Information.

The ControlNumberManagement/outOfSequenceControlNumberAction variable indicates the action you want Module for EDI to take when it encounters an out-of-sequence control number in an inbound document when it is validating interchange and/or group control numbers.

Value	Description
Error & Continue	Module for EDI logs the error, and then continues to process the EDI document that contains the invalid control number normally.
ProcessNormally	Module for EDI logs a warning and processes the EDI document that contains the invalid control number normally.
Reject	Module for EDI logs the error and does not process the document normally. The module does not split the EDI document. Typically, the module splits an inbound EDI based on the EDITPA splitOption variable and sends the documents it splits out to Trading Networks for processing. However, if you set the action to Reject, Module for EDI sends the document without splitting it to Trading Networks processing rules. Additionally, the module sets the Trading Networks custom attribute EDI Status to Duplicate Control Number. You can use the custom attribute EDI Status in the processing rule criteria. You should create a processing rule to handle this rejected document. For information, see Defining Processing Rules to Handle Documents with Invalid Control Numbers. You can force processing of the duplicate document later, if you want. For more information, see Reprocessing EDI Documents with Invalid Control Numbers.

The ControlNumberManagement/VDA/validateStructure variable indicates whether you want Module for EDI to validate the structure of inbound VDA documents. For more information, see Defining How to Handle Invalid Control Numbers for VDA Documents.
