Managing Administrative Contacts

Edit online

About this task

Use the Address Book to define contacts that are associated with a particular trading partner or particular application partner. You can also define administrative contacts that are not associated with a trading partner. Contact information is useful for defining the person to contact in your organization or your trading partner's organization about issues involving EDI traffic.

Contact information includes identifying individuals or groups of individuals and how to reach them. Providing contact information allows Trading Manager to send error notifications.

These contact types are not associated with a trading or application partner; therefore, the Alert Options are not available. Typically, they are people in your organization to contact.

You can add, edit, and delete administrative contacts in the Admin address book.
