How to Access EDI Specifications

A specification for an X12 or EDIFACT document includes detailed information about the structure and definition of each data segment. Referring to these details, you can decipher the information conveyed in a given EDI document. In B2B for Oracle Integration, the specifications are visible in an interactive schema editor or as an implementation guide that you generate for offline viewing.

Here is how you access these details from your Oracle Integration instance:

• Create a B2B schema for the necessary document type. The schema editor shows an interactive schema for that document in which you can browse the structure and select and view elements, data types, code lists, and other details.
• Generate an implementation guide for the necessary document type from the B2B Schema page (this feature is not available for EDIFACT documents). You can generate an implementation guide for a standard schema or a customized schema.
