Adding a TRADACOMS Inbound Trade Link

Edit online

About this task

An inbound trade link is defined as one in which your (external) partner is sending data to you (the internal partner). You are the receiver of the incoming data. The procedure uses the Link Wizard.

Note: Because application partners are optional in TRADACOMS, if SDT/CDT segments are expected, select the trading partner that also has an application partner associated with it.
