Using Partners Creating an Inbound Relationship
3 - 59
Inbound groups
and interchanges
(contd)
◗ 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 you begin 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.
