Outbound Translation Object Dialog Box
The Outbound Translation Objects dialog box is used to specify which translation objects are used to process the data defined by this relationship.
The following lists the outbound translation levels (from the lowest level up):
| Translation Level | Description |
|---|---|
| Document | Translate from import format or data entry to EDI. |
| Transaction | Build the EDI-specific enveloping around a single document. |
| Group | Build the EDI-specific enveloping around a set of related transactions (the transactions do not have to be the same type). |
| Interchange | Build the EDI-specific enveloping around groups destined for the same trading partner. |
The following illustrates the Outbound Translation Object dialog box with the Advanced options displayed:
The following describes the parts of the Outbound Translation Object dialog box.
| Part | Function |
|---|---|
| Import | Displays all import translation objects in the system for the Standard, Version, Transaction Set, and Release defined by the relationship. |
| Displays all print translation objects in the system for the Standard, Version, Transaction Set, and Release defined by the relationship. The selected translation object will be used to print documents sent to this partner. | |
| Data Entry | Displays all screen entry translation objects in the system for the Standard, Version, Transaction Set, and Release defined by the relationship. |
| Application ID | Specify the application identifier that indicates the destination of the documents. |
| Application Alias Value | Specify the criteria for this relationship definition,
which will be used during the application import function. For example: The application contains data that can generate either an invoice or a credit memo. Use one relationship definition for invoices and another for credit memos. There is a box in the application that defines whether this is an invoice or a credit memo. The box will display CREDIT if a credit memo is created and INVOICE if an invoice is created. Type CREDIT in the Application Alias Value for the relationship defining the credit memo or INVOICE for the invoice. Note: This
box will only be used if you receive translation objects that are
defined to use the Application Alias Value.

| TurnAround | Select other translation objects associated with
the relationship, which gives you the capability to change the system
behavior at the transaction and document translation level. This allows
you to use translation objects that are as partner-specific as required
and/or perform as many functions as required. You must select a translation object from the TurnAround list if you have created a specific turnaround translation object for this relationship and if you want to change the way the system behaves for this partner relationship. Note: TurnAround
translation objects may not be appropriate for an Outbound Relationship.

| Export | Select other translation objects associated with
the relationship, which gives you the capability to change the system
behavior at the transaction and document translation level. This allows
you to use translation objects that are as partner-specific as required
and/or perform as many functions as required. You must select a translation object from the Export list if you have created a specific export translation object for this relationship and if you want to change the way the system behaves for this partner relationship. Export translation objects are used to export an outbound document to a file. |
| Transaction | Select other translation objects associated with
the relationship, which gives you the capability to change the system
behavior at the transaction and document translation level. This allows
you to use translation objects that are as partner-specific as required
and/or perform as many functions as required. You must select a translation object from the Transaction list if you have created a specific Transaction Build translation object for this relationship and if you want to change the way the system behaves for this partner relationship. |
| Acknowledge | Select other translation objects associated with
the relationship, which gives you the capability to change the system
behavior at the transaction and document translation level. This allows
you to use translation objects that are as partner-specific as required
and/or perform as many functions as required. You must select a translation object from the Acknowledge list if you have created a specific translation object for this relationship and if you want to change the way the system behaves for this partner relationship. When the system generates an acknowledgement, it writes the acknowledgement to an internal file containing the acknowledgement details and then maps that internal file. If you need the system to process acknowledgements differently, you should select an additional translation object from the Acknowledge list. |
