Using Partners

Creating an Inbound Relationship

3 - 59

◗

For UCS, the interchange is required and the functional group is also 
required.

◗

For EDIFACT, the interchange is required and the functional group is 
optional.

◗

For ODETTE, the interchange is required and the functional group is 
optional.

◗

For TRADACOMS, the Interchange is required and there is no functional 
group.

Note
If you do not want to use an optional functional group or interchange, you must 
still select <none> from the appropriate dialog box to alert the system that you are 
not using a group.

Before setting up an inbound relationship, you must know the following 
information to plan the implementation of this partner:

◗

The EDI standard you expect from this trading partner (such as ANSI)

◗

The standard version you expect from this trading partner (such as 003020 for 
ANSI or 090001 for EDIFACT)

◗

The code for the transaction set you expect from this trading partner (such as 
““INVOIC” for an EDIFACT invoice)

◗

The type of functional group and interchange the transaction set is wrapped in 
when it is received from this partner

After you complete your implementation planning for this partner, you can set up 
the inbound relationship by using the Inbound Relationship dialog box. The 
Inbound Relationship dialog box controls other subordinate dialog boxes, where 
you define everything that is necessary to establish the relationship.

The following describes the process for defining an inbound relationship: 

1

Create a new inbound relationship.

2

Create and register the inbound translation object to be used with this 
relationship.

Reference
See the Application Integration User’s Guide for more information 
about creating a translation object. Also see Registering New 
Translation Objects on page 2 - 7 for more information.
