Activating the feature
In order to activate this feature, you must specify the Acknowledgement Post Offices option. These are the post offices that are used on the corresponding trade link. In all four X12 trade link application tags, three optional tags are used to specify these post offices:
- AckGetPO
- AckProdPutPO
- AckTestPutPO
All three tags are optional, but if any are specified, at least one Put post office (test or production) must be specified.
The Get post office will become required if a Put is specified, and the corresponding trade link does not exist already. If this Get post office is specified, and the trade link exists already, the Get post office set here will be ignored (and the one used on the existing trade link remains). Failure to specify an AckGetPO when one is required will result in warnings in the XMLautoload in process.

When this feature is activated and the XML AutoLoad Utility Reporting Options is set to Detailed, information messages such as X12 Outbound 824 Acknowledgement added to an existing trade link, and X12 Outbound 824 Acknowledgement added to an existing trade link, and X12 Inbound 997 Acknowledgement added to a newly created trade link will be included in the report. When the XML AutoLoad Utility is in Validation mode, this message may repeat more than once, as the data is not actually created. In Validation mode, these messages will read: would have been added instead of added. No messages regarding this feature will be displayed if the reporting option is set to Summary.
