Defining Trading Partner Data
The term ”trading partner” is used differently in the context of EDI translators than
in the context of the e-Commerce Gateway. For EDI translators, the purpose of
trading partner data is to:
■
Identify sending and receiving electronic mailbox addresses.
■
Identify the communication medium (such as network or direct connection).
■
Enable specific transactions by trading partner. See:
Trading partner groups are used to associate one or more trading partner
definitions in e-Commerce Gateway into one logical entity. Since trading partners
are defined at an address or location level within e-Commerce Gateway, trading
partner groups may be used to define customers or suppliers. Trading partner
groups can also be used to describe larger logical entities such as supplier categories
or geographic regions.
◗◗ To define a trading partner group:
1.
Navigate to the Trading Partner Groups window.
2.
Enter a unique trading partner group identifier.
