There are two translators to process the maps and the data within the EC Gateway Run Map module:
Run Inbound Map – is the translation tool used to process incoming /received data (typically X12 data format) from a trading partner. It uses a map designed for incoming data traffic.
Run Outbound Map – is the translation tool used to process outgoing/sending data (typically from within the company’s database) to a data file (typically an X12 standard formatted data file) to be picked up or delivered to the company’s trading partner. It uses a map designed for outgoing data traffic.
All Any-to-Any maps (regardless of direction) use the
Run Outbound Map translator.
