Outbound UNA Envelope

The Outbound Envelope allows you to determine outbound parameters for the UNA (EDIFACT) option. The Outbound UNA Envelope dialog box is displayed.

Note: EDIFACT version 4 defines the infrastructure necessary to support the creation (and processing) of interchanges that have been encoded using a character set other than 8-bit ASCII. Microsoft Windows supports the processing of an encoded interchange as long as the encoding matches the default code page of the operating system where it is running.

The following describes the parts of the Outbound UNA Envelope.
