Partners

COMM-LiNK

making it easy for the user. The process begins by receiving any

transaction, for example, a purchase order. The receiver must then

inform the sending Trading Partner that it was received, in good time, in

good order, and without errors.

Each Trading Partner has an established time period for receipt of a

functional acknowledgment. The ranges go from 6 hours to 72 hours,

depending upon the Trading Partner. To ensure that you comply with

these varying requests, COMM-LiNK

sends any 997’s or 999’s as soon as a transaction is received via EDI. If

a trading partner claims they did not receive a functional

acknowledgment, then COMM-LiNK

user resend it, or else the user can contact

support@commport.com for

assistance.

The main screen also has a file menu from which you can do EDI,

however, clicking on the Perform EDI button is much more convenient as

it is displayed when the application first loads.
