Using Transaction XREF with ASC X12

About this task

If you need the ability to cross-reference the Sterling B2B Integrator data to generated transaction, perform the following:

Procedure

  1. The Sterling B2B Integrator Map Editor uses the TransactionCrossReferenceTable, with possible values SenderID, ReceiverID, MessageType, Identifier.
  2. The translator populates these values during translation.
  3. After each round of translation completes, the EDI Enveloping service can query for the values. When it performs the enveloping, it will locate the standard-specific values for the same four parameters.
  4. Based on these two sets of values for identifiers (application specific and standard specific), the EDI Enveloping service populates a TransactionCrossReferenceTable
  5. You can build a custom application that queries this table to uniquely link an application file and generate an ASC X12 transaction.
