Trading Partners
Trading Partners 3-3
The relationship between Oracle e-Commerce Gateway trading partners and
trading partner data on the inbound or outbound interface file is found in the
Control Record (0010) section of the interface file. During outbound processing,
trading partner data from the e-Commerce Gateway definition is placed on the
Control Record to identify the sending trading partner. During inbound processing,
trading partner data on the Control Record is used to validate the trading partner
against trading partner data defined in Oracle e-Commerce Gateway.
Location Codes
Each address referenced in a transaction must be associated with a location code in
Oracle Applications. In many electronic standards, including EDI, address data
such as bill-to or ship-to address is communicated using a code or identifier.
Location code is used to link this code or identifier with an address defined in
Oracle Applications such as customer address or supplier site. For EDI
applications, location code may be used to define data contained in the X12 N104
segment or EDIFACT NAD segment of a document.
There are four areas within Oracle Applications where location code can be defined:
■
Receivables - Customer Addresses. Navigate to the Customers > Standard
window. In the address tab, define EDI Location Code.
■
Payables - Bank Branches. Navigate to the Setup > Payments > Banks window
and define EDI Location Code.
■
Purchasing - Supplier Sites. Navigate to the Supply Base > Suppliers window.
From the Sites button, Electronic Data Interchange tab, define EDI Location
Code.
■
HR - Locations. Navigate to the Work Structures > Location window. In the
Other Details tab, define EDI Location Code.
During inbound processing, Oracle e-Commerce Gateway uses location code and
translator code data from the Control Record (0010) section of the interface file to
validate trading partner data against the e-Commerce Gateway trading partner
definitions.
Location codes on the inbound interface file are also used to derive address data
and validate the address definition against the Oracle Applications address
definition.
During outbound processing, location code and translator code is used to identify
the sending trading partner to the receiving party. This information is placed in the
