Creating the Service to Form the EDI Document

You can send documents to Trading Networks from internal applications (for example, back-end systems) and create a service that maps information from the internal-format documents into an EDI document. Module for EDI provides built-in services that you can use to form the EDI document.

Additionally, because you are using Trading Networks, you can have the module maintain the following information that you can access and use when forming EDI documents:

Information	Where the information is stored
Delimiters to use for the outbound EDI document	EDITPA
The following information that you use for the interchange header: Authorization information qualifier Authorization information Security information qualifier Security information	EDITPA
Control numbers to use in group and interchange headers (or batch, transmission, and file headers)	EDIControlNumber table

Note:
For ANSI X12 and UN/EDIFACT users: When using non-standard processing, you obtain the delimiters, Authorization information and qualifier, and Security information and qualifier from the interchange sender/receiver pair information that you define using the Module for EDI home page. For more information about defining this information, see Defining Interchange-Level Sender/Receiver Pair Information. For more information about the difference between standard and non-standard processing, see webMethods Module for EDI Concepts Guide .
