About this task

To define tradelinks using custom X12 versions perform the following steps:

Procedure

  1. Start Partner Manager and select File > Utilities.

    The Utilities Navigator opens.

  2. Select Configuration > Standards.

    The Standards Maintenance window opens.

  3. Select X12 Versions from the X12 Standards drop-down menu.
  4. Enter the custom X12 version in the Version field as it shows in the GS Segment (excluding leading zeroes). For example: to support 004010VICS enter 4010VICS.
  5. Click Save.
  6. Perform one of the following:
    • copy the Transactions and Functional ID's from any other X12 version

      or

    • enter the Transactions and Functional ID's manually (see the Partner Manager documentation for more information).

      If the custom version being implemented is a subset of an ANSI version (for example 4010VICS is a subset of 4010) then you do not need to create structure records. If it is not (for example R2/8), then create structure records and load them into Partner Manager. See "Creating Structure Records" .

  7. Create X12 tradelinks that use the custom X12 version.
  8. Run the EDI Wizard and point to the Master Type Trees created previously.

    Versions that contain characters not supported (R2/8) must be manually added to the x12mail and x12 user trees.
