Sending EDI Standard Documents to the Network

After the system converts the EDI outbound document data to the flat file, the records are ready to be processed by translator software. The translator software maps the data into EDI Standard document format.

After the outbound flat files have been successfully created, you must send them to the network from the translator software files so that the trading partner can receive them.

Important: If you do not want to send duplicate data to the trading partner, you must delete the flat file after the data has been processed through the translator software. If you do not delete the flat file, the next time that you convert data, the system appends the new records to the records that were translated.
