How ASC X12 PM Messaging Works

Total operation of ASC X12 PM happens in the following functional layers:

• View: The Enterprise Designer provides the ability to create X12 Projects, and the eXchange Message Tracking feature allows the searching and viewing of X12 messages.

• Services Orchestration: You use the eXchange Partner Manager to design a Transaction Set. Then, the X12 Project prepares and returns the interchange and functional acknowledgments (TA1 and 997) to the TP, as well as performing message correlation to associate the business response with the appropriate request.

• Integration Services: X12 Projects validate ISA and GS envelopes from incoming messages, prepare ISA and GS envelopes for outgoing messages, batch together documents to be delivered as a single transaction (ISA), and record the activities in Message Tracking.
