Appendix E: Reports


Overview

Reports are a vital part of the EDI process. They can be very helpful in tracking problematic messages and repeating problems. Reports are also very important in reflecting which transactions have not been acknowledged or the errors generated by an incorrect EDI message.

There are numerous status reports available that display database information for the sender or receiver in summary or detailed format. Reports that are generated by the EC Gateway can be broken down into four categories. The Activity Reports can be viewed By Transaction or By Trading Partner. The other two standard categories are Exception Reports and Management Reports. The Other Reports category contains reports defined by the user.
