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
- The Sterling B2B Integrator Map Editor uses the TransactionCrossReferenceTable, with possible values SenderID, ReceiverID, MessageType, Identifier.
- The translator populates these values during translation.
- 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.
- Based on these two sets of values for identifiers (application specific and standard specific), the EDI Enveloping service populates a TransactionCrossReferenceTable
- You can build a custom application that queries this table to uniquely link an application file and generate an ASC X12 transaction.
