Trading Networks 10.7 | Administering and Monitoring B2B Transactions | webMethods Module for EDI | Generating Acknowledgments | Tracking Late Functional Acknowledgments | Example
 
Example
In this example, consider that partner A is the sender and partner B is the receiver. Partner A wants to track the late FAs for PO and IN groups of X12 standard documents.
Partner A must:
1. Set the LateFATime variable for both the LateFA/LateFATime and the LateFA/LateFAForX12Group partner-specific EDITPA variables
2. Set the FAReconciliation EDITPA variable to true in the EDITPA where partner A is the receiver, so that the module can map the late FAs to the original document and track the late FAs
Partner A sets the LateFA/LateFATime and the LateFA/LateFAForX12Group partner-specific EDITPA variables as follows:
For the LateFA/LateFATime EDITPA variable:
LateFATime Value
1
For the LateFA/LateFAForX12Group EDITPA variable:
Group Type
LateFATime Value
PO
2
IN
3
When partner A sends X12 documents to partner B, the module sets the Late FA attribute of the original document in Trading Networks to Y when any of the following conditions occur:
*Partner A receives the functional acknowledgment for the PO group more than two minutes later.
*Partner A receives the functional acknowledgment for the IN group more than three minutes later.
*Partner A receives the functional acknowledgments for any other group more than one minute later.
Module for EDI sets the Late FA attribute of the original document in Trading Networks to N when the FA is not late.
