Understanding Inbound EDI Acknowledgment Records

You can search for particular acknowledgment records and revise information or investigate errors as necessary. You use the Inbound EDI Acknowledgement Inquiry program (P47191) to search for, revise, or delete a particular acknowledgement and investigate errors that occur during acknowledgment processing. You can revise error details or multiple error detail records simultaneously. You can also add notes to a specific error detail record. You locate the records based on the EDI Document Number and the Transaction Set, and you can specify date ranges to refine the search for records. The system updates the advance ship notice and electronic invoice tables with acknowledgment information.

You can also use this application to view or edit the names, addresses and reference information associated with acknowledgment records.

The system uses these tables for processing acknowledgments:

Table Name	Description
F47191	Contains a record for each acknowledgment that is received. Contains data about the acknowledgment as a whole.
F47192	Contains details of errors that are reported on the ASN. Elements include the position of the segment in error and element error code.
F47198	Contains any notes that accompany an error segment.
F47196	Contains party qualifiers, codes, and names that were received through the EDI message.
F47194	Contains any reference qualifier and numbers that are associated with either the header information or the error detail information.
F47046	Contains information about related acknowledgments. You can quickly find records based upon acknowledgment information.
