Introduction
In this chapter
This chapter explains how to use the Gentran:Server document functions, 
including:
creating and editing documents
managing documents
routing documents
EDI documents
Gentran:Server tracks the relationship between an EDI document and the 
corresponding application data. For import processing, the system makes a 
persistent copy of the application data at the start of processing. For inbound 
(export) processing, the system assigns a unique identifier to the document, which 
is then permeated throughout the system for all database entries associated with 
the received document.

The Document Editor feature is the Gentran:Server data entry tool. It allows you 
to create, modify, and view documents.
Note
To use the Document Editor, you must register the appropriate screen entry 
translation object with the system and set up a corresponding outbound 
relationship for the partner.
