Electronic Data Interchange
Interchange Receipt (UN/EDIFACT)

This topic:

 

Overview

Interchange receipt indicates that the subject interchange has been received by the recipient.  The CONTRL message records the subject interchange that is being replied to.  No syntactical check is made on the subject interchange and the CONTRL is only created to merely indicate receipt of the interchange.

 

Generating Interchange Acknowledgment

The Interchange Acknowledgment is created for the subject interchange under the following conditions:

  1. The option EnableInterchangeAcknowledgment  is set to TRUE.
  2. If the option OptAcknowledgment_IgnoreAckRequest is disabled, the acknowledgment is generated depending on the value of the Acknowledgment Requested Data Element (0031).  If the value of 0031 is "1" then the acknowledgment is enabled.

    The following is a summary of how the CONTRL acknowledgment is generated in UN/EDIFACT depending on the OptAcknowledgment_IgnoreAckRequest option, EnableInterchangeAcknowledgment.

    DE 0031 OptAcknowledgment_IgnoreAckRequest EnableInterchangeAcknowledgment  Interchange Receipt (CONTRL)
    0 FALSE FALSE NO
    0 FALSE TRUE YES
    0 TRUE FALSE NO
    0 TRUE TRUE YES
    1 FALSE FALSE YES
    1 FALSE TRUE YES
    1 TRUE FALSE NO
    1 TRUE TRUE YES

  3. The implementation guideline provided and used to process the document must also have the CONTRL Message definition that will be used as a guideline to create the acknowledgment.
