What to do next
After you add an EDI document of standard type UNEDIFACT, ODETTE, or EANCOM, add another document with control transaction (CONTRL) for the corresponding standard and version. From the Add EDI document page, select CONTRL from the Transaction drop-down to generate and send a functional acknowledgment (FA) to partners. An FA is a type of EDI transaction set that acknowledges the receipt and the structural and syntactical validity of an EDI document.
