ALL TradePartner

If ECRTP/TP cannot find a trading partner in the trading partner database or trade agreement that links the current map and trading partner, ECRTP/TP runs the map using the ALL TradePartner default.

You cannot remove or modify the ALL TradePartner or use ALL TradePartner properties for any other trading partner. (The ID is thirteen spaces, the Name is ALL, and the Group is 0 (zero). In the trading partner database, the CUST_NO for the ALL TradePartner is 35 spaces, and the GSID is 0 followed by 34 trailing spaces. No other trading partner is allowed to have these values.)

If you need to overwrite the default, delimiter values, bring the Delimiter/Terminator tab into focus, and edit by map standard:

If the standard is…	Do this
X12	In the X12 group, right-click in the text box next to the Segment, Element, Subelement, or Repeat Characters fields, and choose the appropriate value from the submenu.
EDIFACT	In the EDIFACT group, right-click in the text box next to the Segment, Element, Subelement, Release Character, or Repeat Characters fields, and choose the appropriate values from the submenus. From the Decimal Indicator drop-down box, choose the character you want to use to indicate a decimal.
HL7	In the HL7 group, right-click in the text box next to the Segment, Field, Component, Subcomponent, or Escape Characters, and Repetition Character fields, and choose the appropriate values from the Selection windows. The HL7 segment terminator is defined as <CR> and technically cannot be changed. However, since some trading partners mandate that it be different, ECRTP/TP allows you to override this value. For HL7 maps, you must type the actual delimiter values on this screen because there are no default values for HL7 message delimiters.
Data Encoding	In the Packed Decimal Character box in the Data Encoding group, choose the appropriate legal value B, C, or D. ECRTP/TP uses this value to determine whether a signed packed decimal field in a record is positive.
