EDI User Code List Tables
EDI User Code List Table maintenance allows the addition of User defined Code List Values for Elements that, according to the standard, have a restricted code list assigned.
When configuring an EDI Trading Partner Event, you may be asked to support a Code List value that does not conform to the EDI Standard being used. It is possible to add additional "User" values to the standard Code List Tables.
For example; You are sending EDI Messages to your Trading Partner using the EDIFACT standard, when you refer to Item Number Qualifier being sent (element 7143) it must comply with the supplied list (ie. BP=Buyers Part, SA=Suppliers Article, etc..) , but if you are asked to send (or receive) a value in element 7143 that does not exist in the code list table then the message validation will fail. User Code List Table Values can be added, the following example demonstrates how the coded value "X1" can be added to the code list for element 7143:
EDI Trading Partner Event - User Code List Table Maintenance
| Element Id | 7143 |
| Code List Value | X1 |
| Description | Customer Specific Item Qualifier |
This example uses the EDIFACT Item Number Qualifier Element, with Id 7143. It is important to understand that adding Code List Table Values changes the EDI Standard.
The ECS/EDI Processor will automatically add the User Code List Table to the standard Code List Table when validating Inbound or Outbound messages.
To configure an EDI User Code List Table Value, perform the following:
From the main "ECS/integrated email" panel click on the drop down menu "e-commerce", select "EDI" then select "EDI Trading Partner Events" .
The "EDI Trading Partner Event Maintenance" window will now be displayed, listing any previously defined EDI Events.
"Edit" the required EDI Event and click on the "Code List Tables" Command button.
The following window should be displayed:
Click the "Add" command button to add a new Translation definition.
The Code List Value refers to the Code List Value that will be used during Inbound and Outbound Message Validation.
The Description is for reference only.
Click OK to add the EDI Code List Table Entry or Cancel to return to the User Code List without updating the record.
