Customizing the ASC X12 OTDs

OTDs provided in the OTD Library cannot be customized. However, the SEF file in the OTD Library enables you to modify the file and then rebuild it. The SEF file contains definitions for all transaction sets of the ASC X12 version.

You can then rebuild the OTD with the customized SEF file as described in the following section. The procedure describes how to save the SEF file locally for editing.
