Setting up company profiles

Company profiles provide an electronic signature on your outgoing messages that tells the recipient who sent the message. ECRTP/TP uses your company profile as the sender address on both the interchange and group-level envelopes that hold the EDI message.

Because the requirements for exchanging business messages may differ from trading partner to trading partner, you can set up multiple profiles for your company, letting you tailor the messages you exchange for each trading partnership.

On incoming messages, the company ID identifies your company as the recipient of the message.
