Understanding the ASN Update as Sent Program

This program marks all records as successfully processed. You can run this program from within the flat file R47032 Conversion Program (R47032C) or from the menu for a particular EDI document number (EDOC). The system updates the records with a Y in the EDI Successfully Processed field (EDSP).

You run this program before you download a new batch of transactions to the EDI interface tables to prevent duplicating data. The program flags all the documents that were transmitted as processed, which prevents the same documents from being sent again.

Ensure that you delete the flat file after processing the data through the translator software. Otherwise, the system appends new records to the records that were translated.
