Defining a compliance map

Use the steps in the following procedure to define a compliance map.

To create a compliance map, you must first define the map on the New Map Definition window, just as you would any other inbound transaction map.

In ECMap’s main window, select File > Maps > Select to open the map record.
Right-click your map and choose Properties from the submenu. The Map Definition Properties window opens.
Click the Map Properties tab to make it active and specify the following:
1. In the Map group, click the down arrow to the right of the Map Type text box and choose X12.
2. In the Options group, click the down arrow to the right of the Direction text box and choose IN.
In the Options group, populate the remaining fields:
1. In the Transaction text box, type the transaction for the compliance map to check; for example, 270.
2. In the Version text box, click the down arrow and choose the version of the X12 standard used in the map; for example, 004010.
3. In the Description text box, optionally type a description of the map; for example, Health care eligibility request for Acme Co.
4. In the Century Minimum text box, type the year to be used as the century minimum for converting 6-digit dates.
5. In the 8-Digit Date in X12 Envelope text box, click the down arrow and choose Y (yes) or N (no).
Click the Map Directories tab to make it active and specify the EDI Standards Table directory (last field), which contains the version of the standard that the compliance map checks.
To generate a compliance map using the full ASC X12 transaction set, set the EDI Standards Table directory to the directory that contains the official version of the Standards, such as c:\Program Files\Sybase\Standards\<standard>.

If the ECMap SEF Utility was used to import a standard, ECMap can generate a compliance map based on the implementation specified, but you must define the EDI Standards Table directory as the location of the imported standard, such as c:\Program Files\Sybase\SEF850.
