Adding External ID Types for EDI ID Qualifiers
 
Adding and Overriding EDI ID Qualifiers
An external ID type indicates the method a corporation uses to identify itself within documents and enables you to identify the partner with whom you are exchanging a document. For example, a corporation might use a D-U-N-S number as an external ID type, which is identified by the EDI ID qualifier “1” or “01.” When you define the profile, you select an external ID type and supply the value the partner uses. For example, if the corporation uses a D-U-N-S number, the value is the corporation's D-U-N-S number, such as “123456789.”
Trading Networks uses the external ID information in a profile to determine the sender and receiver of a document. EDI ID qualifiers and their corresponding values identify the sender and receiver of the EDI document. The EDI ID qualifiers and their corresponding values are contained in the interchange and group envelope headers. The following example shows an ANSI X12 interchange envelope header.
The EDI ID qualifier “01” corresponds to a D-U-N-S number (which is the Trading Networks external ID type, DUNS). The EDI ID qualifier “ZZ” corresponds to the Trading Networks external ID type Mutually-Defined. Trading Networks automatically provides the DUNS and Mutually-Defined external ID types. However, Trading Networks does not provide external ID types for all EDI ID qualifiers. To Trading Networks, you can add external ID types that correspond to standard EDI ID qualifiers. For all EDI ID qualifiers and their external ID type equivalents, see the EDI Standards documentation for your EDI standard and version.
