Changing a TPA’s Agreement Status
*To change a TPA’s agreement status
1. In My webMethods: navigate to Administration > Integration > B2B > Trading Partner Agreements.
2. Select the rows for the TPAs whose agreement status to change and click the appropriate status change button, listed in the following table:
Agreement Status
Meaning
Proposed
TPA is in draft status. Use this status when you are creating the TPA so you can modify the TPA fields, data values in the IS document type, and agreement status.
Agreed
TPA is in final status. In production, use this status to prevent the accidental deletion of the TPA and to speed up processing. When a TPA is in this status, you can change the Control Number. If the Data Status is Modifiable, you can also change inputs to TPA data variables in the IS document type.
When the agreement status is Agreed, the data statuses take effect. Additionally, after the agreement status is Agreed, you cannot delete the TPA agreement.
Disabled
TPA should not be used. For example, if Partner A is delinquent on payments to Partner B, Partner B might change Partner A's agreement status to Disabled so that no further transactions can occur. After Partner A pays his payments, however, Partner B would change the agreement status to Agreed. When a TPA is in the status Disabled, you can change the Control Number.
