Enter the following information on the General tab:
Internal ID – the internal application number you use for the trading partner. This number links the EDI envelopes to the application information. On outbound maps, this number is used during the trading partner look-up. On inbound maps, this information is recorded in the log file.
Name – the name you use internally for the trading partner. It is mostly informational and is not used by the program.
Mailbox Name – used for reports and display.
Mailbox Folder – the directory, or folder, where the runtime engine (RTP) drops off EDI data produced by outbound maps and compliance runs and places inbound EDI data being passed through. It is attached to the trading partner and is used for both inbound and outbound routing. Either type in the mailbox Folder or select Browse to search for it on the Select a Directory… window.
You can view or change the Interchange Control Number for both IN(bound) and OUT(bound) messages. The Interchange Control Number is used in both the beginning and ending segments of the interchange-level envelopes.
If you run a compliance map with the Validate Control Numbers option, and envelope and all its contents are rejected if these numbers do not match.
For outbound maps, the control count is automatically incremented by the program each time a message is sent to this trading partner.
For inbound maps, each time a message is received, the current control count is compared with the last control count to confirm that no messages have been lost.
You normally do not change these numbers, but there are instances when you may need to do so. For example, if a transaction is aborted after the control number is incremented, you might want to reset the control number to account for this.
Acknowledgement options – Specify how you want to ECMap to issue an acknowledgement in the event that it is unable to find a trade agreement match:
Acknowledge based on Trade Agreement entry – (Default). An acknowledgement will be sent based on what is specified in the trade agreement for this partner. If no trade agreement is found, no acknowledgement will be sent.
Acknowledge if no Trade Agreement match – If there is no trade agreement match for this partner, an acknowledgement will be sent for the type of map run specified in the Type of Map Run field.
Always acknowledge – Always send an acknowledgement for the type of map run specified in the Type of Map Run field, regardless of what is specified in the trade agreement.
Type of Map Run – Select the type of map run you want the Acknowledgement options to be applicable to:
Compliance – Apply the Acknowledgement options to compliance map runs.
Inbound – Apply the Acknowledgement options to both inbound map runs.
Both – Apply the Acknowledgement options to both inbound and compliance map runs.
