Over reporting

To maximize performance, generate only those reports that are needed by the business consumers of this information.

For example, a translated acknowledgment report is available in the Transformation Extender Platform. This report shows a graphical representation of the errors in the data, which is shown in the same hierarchical structure of the data. This is an informative report for you to generate if you are non-EDI fluent user. It is often a good tool to use when the Transformation Extender Platform system is initially configured. In some cases, the technical implementation team might not be familiar with ASC X12 999. However, your business users might find the structured 999 acknowledgment sufficient for both computer readable and human readable use. Therefore, you might not need a duplicate version of the same information. In such cases, verify that these reports are needed after the initial implementation of the product.
