ediAcknowledgment

An acknowledgment is a document created and sent to the sender in response to the sender's document.  It is to inform the sender of the documents receipt and validity. The acknowledgment also notifies the sender of what action has been taken -- whether the document has been rejected or if it has been accepted.  When multiple documents are sent by the sender, an acknowledgment for each document can be created.

Acknowledgments notify the sender of the following things:

1. Syntactical correctness of the document.
2. If the receiver of the document has accepted or rejected the document.

NOTE:  Although the acknowledgment itself is a document, another acknowledgment MUST NOT be created in response to a received acknowledgment to prevent an endless cycle of verifications.

Properties

• AcceptGroupWithErrors – Allows the Functional Acknowledgment file being generated to indicate that the Functional Group being checked for syntactical errors should be accepted even if syntactical errors are found.
• AcceptSetWithErrors - Allows the Functional Acknowledgment file being generated to indicate that the Transaction Set being checked for syntactical errors should be accepted even if syntactical errors are found.
• AcceptTA1withErrors - Allows the Interchange Acknowledgment file being generated to indicate that the Interchange being checked for syntactical errors should be accepted even if syntactical errors are found.
• CompositeTerminator - Sets or gets the component element terminator used by the acknowledgment.
• DecimalNotation - Sets or gets the decimal notation used by the acknowledgment.
• ElementTerminator - Sets or gets the data element terminator used by the acknowledgment.
• EnableFunctionalAcknowledgment - Enables the generation of the ASC/X12 Functional Acknowledgment or UN/EDIFACT acknowledgment when the EDI document is loaded.
