Create a UNA Segment for Outbound EDIFACT Documents

To create a UNA segment for an outbound EDIFACT document, you must pass delimiters through the payload as part of the interchange-ctrl header.

For example:

<edi-xml-document format="EDIFACT-D98A-ORDERS" 
ver="1.0.20210503"><headers><interchange-ctrl syntax-identifier="UNOB" 
syntax-version-number="4" sender-id="INTERCHANGE SENDER IDENTIFICATION" sender-id-qualifier="1" 
receiver-id="INTERCHANGE RECIPIENT IDENTIFICATIO" receiver-id-qualifier="1" 
date="00210503" time="1518" interchange-ctrl-num="1005" subelement-separator=":" 
element-separator="*" decimal-separator="." segment-terminator="'"/>

The same elements (that is, subelement-separator, element-separator,decimal-separator, release-character, reserved-for-future, and segment-terminator) must be mapped in the backend integration under the interchange-ctrl headers in the XML payload as shown in the following steps.

  1. Open the map action.


    The trigger, map, and B2B action in the integration are shown.

  2. Perform the following mappings:

    The Sources, Mapping canvas, and Target sections are shown. The source Translate Input elements are mapped to target elements. Under the source element Headers, Interchange-ctl is mapped to the target elements subelement-separator, element-separator,decimal-separator, release-character, reserved-for-future, and segment-terminator.
