The system uses the following process to translate inbound data:.

1

The Communicator receives interchanges from your trading partners 
via a network.

2

The Communicator passes the interchanges to the translator.

3

The translator uses a system interchange break translation object to 
unwrap the interchange envelopes and separate each group into 
temporary storage.

4

The translator uses a system group break translation object to 
unwrap the group envelopes and separate each transaction set into 
temporary storage.

5

The translator uses a system transaction break translation object to:

◗

Unwrap the transaction envelopes.

◗

Separate each document into a separate file on the system data 
store.

◗

Write a record to the database with reference information about 
the document.

6

Does the translator locate a trading relationship for each document?

◗

If yes (a trading relationship is located), the translator attempts 
to identify the export, document turnaround, or print translation 
object associated with that relationship. If the translator does 
locate a trading relationship and translation object, it uses that 
translation object to compliance check the document.

◗

If no (the translator does not locate the trading relationship or 
translation object), the document is marked as not compliant and 
is moved in the ?In Documents. 

7

Is the document is compliant with the EDI standard?

◗

If yes, the translator changes the document status to compliant 
and moves the document in the In Documents.

◗

If no, the document remains in the ?In Documents. The 
translator writes a detailed error report to help you to determine 
the problem that was encountered.
