Inbound Group Entry Dialog Box

The Inbound Group Entry dialog box is used to specify a functional group definition.

The following illustrates the Inbound Group Entry dialog box with the Advanced options displayed:

The following describes the parts of the Inbound Group Entry dialog box.

Part Function
Description Specify the name of the functional group description.
Standard Displays the EDI standard the system is using for this relationship definition.
Version Displays the version of the EDI standard the system is using for this relationship.
Functional Group ID Specify the functional group. These identification boxes are defined by each appropriate standards group to group like documents. The standard defines which functional group ID should be used with each document type. This is a mandatory box.

Examples

  • IN 810 - X12 Invoice

  • PO - 850 X12 Purchase Order

  • IG - 830 UCS Invoice

  • OG - 875 UCS P. O.

  • INVOIC - EDIFACT INVOIC

  • ORDERS - EDIFACT ORDERS

  • INVOIC - Tradacoms INVOIC

  • ORDERS - Tradacoms ORDERS

This element is located in:

  • ANSI X12 - GS01
  • EDIFACT - UNG01
  • TRADACOMS - BAT
Sequence Checking Specify if inbound sequence checking will be used and whether the type of sequence checking will be incremental or chronological. You can also indicate that the system must check for duplicate control numbers.
  • None - Do not use sequence checking.
  • Duplicate - Check for duplicate control numbers.
  • Incremental - The control number must be one greater than the last number.
  • Chronological - The control number must be greater than the last number.
Note: If the system detects duplicate control numbers or detects incremental or chronological control numbers that are out of sequence, those documents will be put in the ?In Documents.
Last Used Group Control Number Specifies a value that the system will use to sequence check the group control number. The number will be replaced by the group control number that the system receives. This box will initially be set to zero.
Acknowledge Group Instructs the system to send a functional acknowledgement to this trading partner when you receive the group defined in this relationship. The default value for this box is not checked (do not expect an acknowledgement).
Note: This check box is dimmed (inactive) if the transaction set is an acknowledgement.
Ack Translation Set ID Select the acknowledgement you want generated for this group.

Example

  • ANSI X12 - 997 Functional Acknowledgement
  • UCS/EDIA - 999 Acceptance/Rejection Advice
  • EDIFACT - CNTRL
Group Transl. Obj. Select a partner-specific Group Break Map translation object if this trading partner group deviates from the normal system behavior. You must select a translation object from this list if you want the system to perform partner-specific grouping.
Important: We strongly recommend that you do not change the translation objects in the Group Transl. Obj. and Acknowledge Transl. Obj. lists, unless you have a specific reason for doing so.
Acknowledge Transl. Obj. Select an Acknowledgement Break Map if one exists on the system.
Note: You must select a translation object from the Acknowledge Transl. Obj. 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 group. When the system reconciles an acknowledgement, it maps the acknowledgement to an internal file and then processes it. If you need the system to process acknowledgements differently, you should select an additional translation object from the Acknowledge list.
Important: We strongly recommend that you do not change the translation objects in the Group Transl. Obj. and Acknowledge Transl. lists, unless you have a specific reason for doing so.
