12.1 About Defining EDI Processing Control

Navigation

From Electronic Commerce (G47), enter 27

From EDI Advanced & Technical Operations (G4731/7), choose EDI Processing Control

Define options in the EDI Processing Control file to indicate which EDI Standard documents are to be sent to or received from a specific trading partner. For inbound transactions, you can choose test, production, or inhibited mode. You can choose status mode when receiving inbound shipping notice/manifests. For outbound transactions, the outbound processing flag is used to control the generation of the transactions for specific customers or suppliers.

Note:

To activate the options that you choose in EDI Processing Control, you must modify the Processing Control Edit processing option in each EDI Standard document program you use to trade with this customer. The default for the Processing Control Edit processing option is set to use only the processing options for processing of each EDI Standard document. You must set the Processing Control Edit processing option to search EDI Processing Control for options that you have set.
