This chapter contains the topic:
From Electronic Commerce (G47), enter 27
From EDI Advanced & Technical Operations (G4731/5), choose Transaction Set Purpose
Transaction set purpose codes are user-defined codes that you set up to control the actions taken by the system. The system uses the action code each time the Transaction Set Purpose field appears in a file.
For inbound transactions, the system uses the transaction set purpose code to determine the action to take on the transaction. For outbound transactions, the system uses the transaction set purpose code to specify the purpose of the transaction to your trading partner.
Transaction set purpose codes for EDI Standard documents have been preloaded into your Electronic Commerce software package. You can review the transaction set purpose code table to determine the current transaction set purpose codes and their descriptions.
