Transaction set codes are user defined codes that describe each type of EDI transaction (EDI Standard document) that you send and receive. You can define transaction set codes for any EDI standard, including EDIFACT and ANSI.

Transaction set codes for EDI Standard documents have been preloaded into your Electronic Commerce software package. You can view the transaction set code listing to review the current transaction set codes and their descriptions. The system uses the user defined code table to edit fields in which you enter transaction set codes and to provide a description of the EDI Standard document.

If you add a new transaction set code, you must also add it to the user defined code table to ensure proper processing.
