Partner identifiers

In the configuration of a trading partner, its business identifier (ID) must be unique in the domain.

The business identifiers for trading partners are generally equivalent to one of the following values.
  • For AS messages, a value for a message header.
    • For the AS1 protocol, To or From
    • For the AS2 protocol, AS2-To or AS2-From
    • For the AS3 protocol, AS3-To or AS3-From
  • For ebMS messages, a value for an PartyID element, where the PartyID element can be under either From or To element.
  • A value that is extracted from the body (payload) of the EDI message: SenderID or ReceiverID
