Functional Acknowledgment

On the Functional Acknowledgment page, you can review and check the incoming Functional Acknowledgment messages. These messages have been imported and stored in Transformation Services in response to a previously published EDI message. A Functional Acknowledgment only indicates that the previous EDI message has been received and processed by the recipient. The content of the original EDI message is not evaluated.

You can also export the functional acknowledgement messages using the Export option. The application exports the data to a CSV file that is packaged in a ZIP file.

The exported CSV file contains these columns:

  • Row Number
  • Original Document Number
  • Original Document Type
  • Original Document Date
  • Document ID
  • Acknowledge Status
  • Transaction Number
  • Last Update User
  • Last Update Date
  • Line
  • Acknowledgment Code

You can click and hold the three-dot icon on the column header and drag the column to the required position.

You can use the Personalize Columns option from the More… menu and personalize (hide or unhide, or reorder the column header to the required position) the columns.

You can reset the columns order to default using the Reset Columns Order option from the More… menu.

The page shows a list of Functional Acknowledgment messages. The Acknowledge Status column provides feedback on the validity of the previously sent EDI messages:

  • Accepted: Published EDI message for which a Functional Acknowledgment has been received without reporting errors. The transformation set process has been successfully accepted.
  • Accepted with Errors: Published EDI message for which a Functional Acknowledgment has been received with reporting errors. The transformation set process has been accepted in spite of the errors.
  • Rejected; Message Authentication: Functional Acknowledgment has been rejected, because the EDI message requires authentication.
  • Partially Accepted: Published EDI message for which a Functional Acknowledgment has been received with some reporting errors. The transformation set process has been partially accepted.
  • Rejected: Functional Acknowledgment has been rejected, because of errors.

To search for a specific Functional Acknowledgment message, specify the document ID of the original EDI message in the field entry of the Original Document Number column. You can specify additional filter criteria in the field entries of other columns.
