Routing options (outbound)

Edit online

About this task

This option allows you to use Trading Manager to route EDI data without performing data validation.

By default, Trading Manager validates each outbound transaction and guarantees that the partner always receives valid X12 data. Once a system is in production, however, the likelihood of it creating invalid data is minimal, and a partner's negative acknowledgement would highlight when it occurs.

You can increase the performance of Trading Manager by turning ON the Route Only; No Validation option for outbound transactions with minimal risk. To further minimize the risk, since this option applies by outbound Functional Group, it can be used only for those transactions with which you feel comfortable.

To set this option:

  2. Select the Post Offices Routing tab view.
  3. Turn ON or OFF the Route Only; No Validation checkbox and according to your individual requirements. In most cases, this checkbox will be ON (checked).
