Specifying Variables that Affect Outbound Processing
Because the EDI document goes through document recognition, the EDITPA variables that affect inbound processing also affect the outbound EDI document. For more information, see Specifying EDITPA Variables that Affect Inbound Processing.
Note that the EDI recognizer will automatically perform FA reconciliation if enabled by the FAReconciliation EDITPA variable. For more information, see FAReconciliation Variable. For more information about how to generate FA reconciliation reports, see Reconciling Functional Acknowledgments.
The following table lists the EDITPA variables that you should set differently when they are used for outbound EDI documents. If you are using TRADACOMS, follow the instructions in Specifying Variables that Affect Outbound Processing When Using TRADACOMS.
EDITPA variable
Description
splitOption
The EDI recognizer will split the EDI document based on the value of the splitOption EDITPA variable. For an outbound document, set the splitOption variable to one of the following:
* Interchange—The EDI document is delivered and FA reconciliation is not performed.
* Group—The EDI document is delivered and FA reconciliation is performed.
Note:
When the splitOption variable is set to Interchange but the FAReconciliation variable is set to true to enable FA reconciliation, the EDI recognizer will split at the group level.
For more information about this EDITPA variable, see splitOption Variable.
ControlNumberManagement/validateInboundEnvelopeControlNumbers
For an outbound document, set this EDITPA variable to false so Module for EDI does not attempt to validate the interchange control numbers in the outbound document.
For more information about this EDITPA variable, see ControlNumberManagement Variables.
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 screen of the Module for EDI home page.
For more information about this screen, see Defining Interchange-Level Sender/Receiver Pair Information.
ControlNumberManagement/validateInboundGroupControlNumbers
For an outbound document, set this EDITPA variable to false so Module for EDI does not attempt to validate the group control numbers in the outbound document.
For more information about this EDITPA variable, see ControlNumberManagement Variables.
FAGeneration/autoGenerateFA
For an outbound document, set this EDITPA variable to Off so Module for EDI does not automatically generate FAs for your outbound document.
