Contacts (Tag: Contacts)

Contacts may be associated with the Trading or Application Partner being added. For example, the <Contacts>...</Contacts> group(s) may be between the <X12TradingPartners > </X12TradingPartners and <X12AppPartners></X12AppPartners> (or similar EDIFACT and TRADACOMS tag, and/or associated Change) tags. Adding contacts to an existing Trading or Application Partner in the Partner Manager database is supported if nested within a Change tag. When adding contacts to an existing object you cannot add a contact if one previously exists with the same last and first names through this utility. There can be zero or many contacts associated with each Trading or Application Partner. If the associated Trading or Application Partner is rejected, all contacts for the rejected Partner are rejected. The tag and field descriptions are described in the following table:

  1. All Alert fields apply to Internal Trading/Application Partners only. The valid values for AlertType are: UFO, Syntax, and ANY. The values are case sensitive. This is for future use.
  2. Default: UFO
  3. If any of these exist, the corresponding Ind (check box on the form) field is set to True (-1) in the Contacts table, otherwise set the Ind fields to False (0). Unlike the data entry form, the AlertEmail field does not default to the Email field; you must specify both if requiring both.
  4. Set to T (true) to attach the data to the email alert. Requires an email address in the field AlertMail.
