Trading partners are entities with whom your company exchanges messages. The trading partner files contain demographic information about the trading partner and the data needed to process the electronic messages that are exchanged, identifying information used in EDI envelopes (sender and receiver codes), routing data (mailbox name), and information required to read the data (delimiter, release, and repeat characters). If you are creating a transaction map, you must enter information about your trading partners. Any-to-Any maps do not require trading partner information.
