Wildcard Deenveloping Example

Procedure

  1. Your trading partner, MaxxMart, transmits EDI purchase orders to your company.
  2. The data reaches the EDI Deenveloping service, which extracts the EDI fields from the header, a portion of which follows:
    • Sender ID MAXXMART
    • Sender ID Qualifier ZZ
    • Receiver ID KIMATA
    • Receiver ID Qualifier 00
  3. The service checks the fields in all available envelopes for matches to the corresponding fields in the EDI fields from the inbound data.

    It finds two matches:

    • One is an exact match: an envelope named MaxxMart_Inbound contains the Sender ID MAXXMART and Sender ID Qualifier ZZ.
    • One is a generic match: an envelope called GENERIC_Inbound contains wildcards in all mandatory fields.
  4. The service uses the envelope called MaxxMart_Inbound for processing because it has more specific matches to the data.
