ACHEnvelope Business Process

Edit online

The ACHEnvelope business process is initiated when it is called by another business process. The ACHEnvelope business process envelopes the ACH messages contained in the business process context with outbound ACH envelopes that you have preconfigured. You must have created one outbound ACH envelope for each ACH message that you are sending.

A typical scenario is one in which ACH data must be sent to a trading partner. To prepare for this, the data must be enveloped to provide identifying batch and interchange data. The ACHEnvelope business process helps to provide these enveloping services.

The ACHEnvelope business process is initiated as part of the following outbound process flow:

  1. You create a business process that calls the EDI Encoder service or Document Extraction service.
  2. The EDI Encoder service or Document Extraction service looks up the envelope to apply and prepares the document to be enveloped.
  3. Either the business process calls the EDI Enveloping service or the Document Extraction service is configured to perform enveloping.
  4. The EDI Enveloping service or Document Extraction service starts the ACHEnvelope business process (which runs the Generic Envelope service as a subprocess to extract the name of the business process).
  5. The ACHEnvelope business process searches the envelope definition to retrieve information to envelope each message.
