The Overrides tab of the Trade Agreements window differs for inbound and outbound maps. For inbound maps, the window contains mailbox override information. For outbound maps, it contains both mailbox override information and override information for the receiver on outbound envelopes. For outbound maps, the Overrides tab is the same for X12 and HL7, but slightly different for EDIFACT.
Mailboxes are used for routing. They allow one pass of mapping to create multiple files. The ability to send data to multiple mailboxes eliminates the need for multiple passes over the data. Mailboxes allow you to send different messages for the same trading partner to different mailboxes. This is a capability that is often required by trading partners who have different functions in multiple locations. It is also used to route (pass through) inbound messages to different internal mailboxes. For example, you might use this feature to keep test maps or compliance maps separate from production maps.
Mailbox information entered on the Trade Agreement window overrides information entered on the Trading Partner window. (You can also override the use of this mailbox or the trading partner mailbox at runtime by selecting the Ignore Trading Partner Mailbox or Ignore Trade Agreement Mailbox check boxes on the Option 1 tab of the Run Inbound Map window.)
Outbound receiver information entered on the Trade Agreement window overrides information entered on the Trading Partner window. This information is used to populate the outbound EDI envelopes.
Overrides tab – Trade Agreements window – inbound maps. The Overrides tab of the Trade Agreements window for inbound maps contains the following mailbox override information:
The Mailbox Name is used only for reports and display. (An entry in this text box overrides the value you entered on the General tab of the Trading Partner window.)
The Mailbox Folder is 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 used for both inbound and outbound routing. Either type in the mailbox Folder or select Browse to search for it. (An entry in this text box overrides the value you entered on the General tab of the Trading Partner window.)
In the File Name text box, you can specify the name of an X12, EDIFACT, or HL7 output file for routed data. This file name is used in the IN, OUT, GOOD, BAD, and OTHER mailboxes.
The Map and route inbound EDI to Trade Agreement mailbox check box allows both the pass-through (routing) of data and the running of maps if it is selected. This must be checked to generate bad EDI and place it in the trading partner’s BAD folder. This is always used when running compliance maps.

In the Outbound Receiver Override Envelope Values section:
The Interchange>Qualifier and Code override the values entered in the Interchange> Qualifier and Code text boxes in the Outbound Receiver Default Envelope Values and Inbound Sender Lookup Values section of the General tab of the Trading Partner window. For outbound X12 messages, the code and qualifier are the Interchange Receiver ID Code/Qualifier on the ISA segment. For outbound HL7 messages, it is the Receiving Facility on the MSH segment, the File Receiving Facility on the FHS segment, or the Batch Receiving Facility on the BHS segment.
The Group>Code overrides the value entered in the Group>Code text box in the Outbound Receiver Default Envelope Values and Inbound Sender Lookup Values section of the General tab of the Trading Partner window. For outbound X12 messages, this is the Application Receiver’s Code on the GS segment. For outbound HL7 messages, this is the Receiving Application on the MSH segment, the File Receiving Application on the FHS segment, or the Batch Receiving Application on the BHS segment.

In the Outbound Receiver Override Envelope Values section:
The Interchange>Qualifier and Code override the values entered in the Interchange> Qualifier and Code text boxes in the Outbound Receiver Default Envelope Values and Inbound Sender Lookup Values section of the General tab of the Trading Partner window. For outbound EDIFACT messages, these are the Interchange Receiver Identification and Identification Code Qualifier on the UNB segment.
The Group>Qualifier and Code overrides the value entered in the Group> Qualifier and Code text boxes in the Outbound Receiver Default Envelope Values and Inbound Sender Lookup Values section of the General tab of the Trading Partner window. For outbound EDIFACT messages, these are the Application Recipient Identification and Identification Code Qualifier on the UNG segment.
X12, EDIFACT, and HL7 tabs – Trade Agreement window. The Trade Agreements window has a specific tab for each of the standards. Only one standard-specific tab is active at a time, and it is the tab for the standard used in the map linked to the trade agreement. The standard-specific tabs differ for inbound and outbound maps for each standard. Each tab contains information that is used only in that standard or in the case of EDIFACT, in that Syntax version of the standard.
