Mapping Requirements for Processing Inbound EDI Transmissions

These tables are used to receive EDI transmissions:

  • EDI Product Activity Data Header - Inbound (F47121)

  • EDI Product Activity Data Detail - Inbound(F47122)

  • EDI Product Activity Data (SDQ) - Inbound(F47123)

You can receive multiple transactions in a single EDI transmission. The system uses key fields in EDI tables F47121, F47122, and F47123 to differentiate transactions and their related components. You should assign the same value to the key fields in all of the EDI tables.
