EDIFACT tab – Trade Agreements window – inbound maps. The EDIFACT tab is the same for inbound and outbound maps, but it includes more information for Syntax 4 than for Syntax 3. On this tab, the user can specify whether a CONTRL message has been requested or is expected, and they enter EDIFACT-specific information.
EDIFACT (Syntax 3) tab – Trade Agreements window – inbound and outbound maps. The EDIFACT tab for Syntax 3 contains the CONTRL Message Requested/Expected. It is used to indicate whether a CONTRL message is expected back from the receiver of this message. If a CONTRL message is expected, the program writes certain information to the log during mapping that enables it to process the CONTRL message. You should choose:
Interchange Level if you and your trading partner have agreed in an Implementation Agreement that the receiver of an EDIFACT message returns a CONTRL message containing a UCI segment indicating whether the interchange-level UNB segment was received and whether it was syntactically acceptable.
Message Level if you and your trading partner have agreed in an Implementation Agreement that the receiver of an EDIFACT message returns a CONTRL message containing a UCM segment indicating whether a message-level UNH segment was received and whether it was syntactically acceptable.
In the two text boxes following Consider unacknowledged if not received after, the user enters values that tell the program the period of time in which you expect to receive a CONTRL message. If the CONTRL message is received after this time period, it is considered overdue. (If you use EC Gateway, this allows Gateway to report on overdue acknowledgements.)
Time Units specifies the unit of measure (DAYS, HOURS, MINUTES, or SECONDS) for the time period during which an acknowledgement to your outgoing message must be received.
In the text box following Time Units, you select the actual number of units of time after which an acknowledgement is considered overdue. (The drop-down list includes the valid values 1 – 99.)
The information entered in the following text boxes is used to populate various things:
Application Reference – populates the S005 0026 field on the UNB segment. This is the name of the EDI messages that are contained in the UNB envelope. (for example, “PAYMUL”)
Interchange Agreement ID – populate the S005 0032 field on the UNB segment.
