Consider unacknowledged…

In the two text boxes following “Consider unacknowledged if not received after,” enter values that tell the program the period of time in which you expect to receive a functional acknowledgement. If an acknowledgement is received after this period, it is considered overdue. (This allows EC Gateway to report on overdue acknowledgements.)

Time Units specifies the unit of measure (DAYS, HOURS, MINUTES, or SECONDS) for the period during which an acknowledgement to your outgoing message must be received.

²In 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.

Note the absence of the “Consider unacknowledged…” fields that do not make sense for an inbound document.
