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

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 you begin Before setting up an outbound relationship, you must know the following
information to plan the implementation of this partner:
◗ The EDI standard this trading partner expects (such as ANSI X12)
◗ The standard version that this partner expects (such as 003020 for ANSI or
090001 for EDIFACT)
◗ The code for the transaction set you use (such as “INVOIC” for an EDIFACT
invoice)
◗ The type of functional group and interchange envelope the transaction set is
wrapped in when it is sent to this partner
