Flat File Cross-Reference for Acknowledgments

The system must identify the flat file with the claim acknowledgments before it can upload the data. When you run the inbound flat file conversion program, the system retrieves the data from the flat files.

Before you can set up the flat file cross-reference, you must set up the folders for the flat files on the appropriate drives of the computer or network.

Some suppliers send acknowledgments when they receive the submitted claims. When you run the Flat File Conversion program (or alternatively, the Ship and Debit Update Report (R47762Z1) for claim acknowledgments, the system copies data from the F4576Z1 table and updates the F4576 table.

You can set up both proof and final versions of the Ship and Debit Update Report program. In proof mode, the system does not update any records. When you run the proof version first, you can check for errors and make any necessary corrections before you run the final version. You can also set the options to update the status of the claims when you run the final version of the program.

The system differentiates EDI transactions and their related components by using these key fields:

• EDI User ID (Z1EDUS)

• EDI Batch Number (Z1EDBT)

• EDI Transaction Number (Z1EDTN)

• EDI Line Number (Z1EDLN)
