Use the steps in the following procedure to associate a compliance map with the trading partner.
Associating the compliance
map with a trading partner
After you define the compliance map and select the segments to include in the map, associate the compliance map with either a specific trading partner or with the ALL TradePartner.
The ALL TradePartner name is generally used as the default trading partner assigned to compliance maps. Using the ALL TradePartner as the default ensures that the compliance map has a generic association for a trading partner definition so the map processes transactions from any sender address. In this way, the same compliance map can be used to run both inbound and outbound transactions. The value for the sender address in the ISA and GS does not matter since the map is associated with the ALL TradePartner.
In ECMap’s main window, select File > Address Book > Contacts (Trading Partner). The Trading Partners window displays.
On the Trading Partners window, highlight the ALL trading partner.
Right-click the ALL trading partner and choose Trade Agreement from the submenu. The Trade Agreement with Trade Partner:ALL displays.
Select File > Add Map. The program automatically creates a trade agreement linking the current map with this trading partner. The map information displays on the window and highlighted.
The map is highlighted. From the menu, select Edit > Properties. If you have not selected the standard for your map, the Standard Type for Map window displays.
Select the appropriate standard for your map. The Trade Agreements window displays.
The program automatically enters the information, but you must make these changes.
Click the General tab to make it active and in the Map Information group, click the down arrow in the Map Type text box and change the map type from IN (inbound) to CMP (compliance).
Click the Overrides tab to make it active and in the Max Override Values group; then check the Map and route inbound EDI to Trade Agreement mailbox check box so that the bad data is separated from the good data.
After you enter all of the required information, click OK to close the Trade Agreements – Properties window and close all remaining windows to return to the main ECMap window.
