  • 1.  FA Generation

    Posted Tue February 10, 2009 02:34 PM

    We are currently converting one EDI solution over to webMethods. We are currently using the Auto FA from our Unknown Trading Partner. The level of detail from our old legacy system looks like the data below.

    After playing with the parameters on the TPA and changing the FA Level from Transaction Set to Segment and then Element and testing with the same Inbound Invoice I do not see any differences from the 997 between the new FA listed below, but the new 997 isn’t detailed like the old system.

    Is there something else I need to configure to get the new 997 as detailed as the old, it is nice to be able to tell our Trading Partners exactly what is wrong with their transaction.

    Hi,
    The most details you get in the FA is if you set the FA generation to ELEMENT level, which I believe you already did.

    For the second example, if you had set it at the element level, you should have seen AK3 and AK4 segments in the 997 with the rejection position and reason. We use TN and TPA for FA set at element level and we get the desired results.

    This is an example from our system using TPA with FA at element level -

    Can you try using wm.b2b.edi.util:generateFA with level set at Element (Instead of TPA in TN) to see if the results are different???
