X12 Outbound Applications Trade Links (Tag: X12OBAppLink)
Note: If you have used the XML AutoLoad Utility previously,
be aware that in this version of the product, a test post office has
been introduced to X12 outbound links. The existing post office field,
PutMailPO, is now the production post office. If you make no changes
to your XML script generation, the post office that you have used
previously for X12 Outbound Links will be this production post office.
See the fields TestIndicator, ProdIndicator and TestPutPO fields in
the tag X12OBAppLink for more information. If you do not want to take
advantage of these new test vs. production post offices, set the two
post offices to the same value.
Use this tag to add Applications (documents) to a new X12 Outbound Trade Link. To add, change, or delete Applications on an existing Trade Link, see the related tag: X12OBAppLinkAddChangeDelete. One or more Applications per Trade Link are required. At least one record is required per link. The tag and field descriptions are described in the following table:
