Print maps are inbound transaction maps that generate printed output, rather than an application file. The standard print map makes it easy to see the EDI data by listing every segment, element, and code with their descriptions.
The Generate Print Map option works for inbound maps
only.
While the printed output is often an EDI-like rendering of the EDI message the map is processing, there are no restrictions on the print format. For example, you can make minor alterations to the standard print map to produce output that lets you see the message more easily, rather than the EDI data format.
