Re: TRADACOMS structure clarification
Chinmoy,
The Gentran maps - STXBRK, MHDReorg, and MHDBrk write the 4 lines of ORDHDR
(TYP, SDT, CDT and FIL) to each of the following ORDERS, ORDTLR and RSGRSG
within the entire file. If you do not have a trading partner relationship for
ORDHDR, ORDTLR (now 4 lines of ORDHDR + 1 OFT line) and RSGRSG (now 4 lines of
ORDHDR + 1 RSG line), these are written to the IN/Red folder. You can delete
(or move) them from here - you do not really need this data since it has been
written to the top of each of the ORDERS. With Gentran 3.2, I modified STXBRK
and MHDReorg so that it would write the ORDHDR to each ORDERS, but then discard
the ORDTLR and RSGRSG. When I upgraded to 4.0.01 my 'fix' no longer worked. So
now I just delete these after Gentran splits them out. The original, entire
message can still be found in the interchanges, so you have not lost anything by
moving/deleting the header and trailers.

The combination of an initial ORDHDR message, one or more ORDERS, and
then an ORDTLR trailer message is a single transaction in Tradacoms
(they call it a 'file'). The ORDERS messages act as a sort of repeating
group within the transaction. I am sorry but I can give you no specifics
about how to process this using Gentran. The only thing which vaguely
resembles this sort of structure in EDIFACT which I can think of offhand
is an interchange containing INVOIC'es and a TAXCON message, where you
have different messages in an interchange which are nevertheless closely
related. If Gentran can handle this then you should be able to use the
same sort of approach for Tradacoms.
Incidentally, it is also possible for an orders file to contain a fourth
and final message type, an RSGRSG reconciliation message.

Chris
