Oracle EDI Gateway Users Guide
Audience for This Guide

This guide assumes you have a working knowledge of your business
areas processes and tools. It also assumes you are familiar with EDI
Gateway. If you have never used EDI Gateway, we suggest you attend
one or more of the EDI Gateway training classes available through
World Wide Education. For more information about EDI Gateway and
Oracle training, see: Other Information Sources.
Do Not Use Database Tools to Modify Oracle Applications Data

Because Oracle Applications tables are interrelated, any change you
make using Oracle Applications can update many tables at once. But
when you modify Oracle Applications data using anything other than
Oracle Applications, you may change a row in one table without
making corresponding changes in related tables. If your tables get out
of synchronization with each other, you risk retrieving erroneous
information and you risk unpredictable results throughout Oracle
Applications.
When you use Oracle Applications to modify your data, Oracle
Applications automatically checks that your changes are valid. Oracle
Applications also keeps track of who changes information. If you enter
information into database tables using database tools, you may store
invalid information. You also lose the ability to track who has changed
your information because SQL*Plus and other database tools do not
keep a record of changes.
Consequently, we STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you never use
SQL*Plus or any other tool to modify Oracle Applications data unless
otherwise instructed.
Other Information Sources

Here are some other ways you can increase your knowledge and
understanding of EDI Gateway.

CHAPTER
Overview of Oracle EDI

Gateway
T his chapter presents an overview of the EDI Gateway:
Overview: page 1 2
How to Use Oracle EDI Gateway: page 1 9
Overview of Oracle EDI Gateway
11

Oracle Applications provides users with the ability to conduct business
electronically between trading partners based on the Electronic
Commerce standards and methodology. One form of Electronic
Commerce is Electronic Data Interchange (EDI).
EDI is an electronic exchange of information between trading partners.
Data files are exchanged in a standard format to minimize manual
effort, speed data processing, and ensure accuracy.
The EDI Gateway performs the following functions:
define trading partner groups and trading partner locations
enable transactions for trading partners
provide location code conversion between trading partner
location codes and codes used in Oracle Applications
provide general code conversion between trading partner codes
or standard codes
define interface data files so that application data can interface
with EDI translators
extract application data, format, and write to data files (outbound
transactions)
import data or converted codes into application open interface
tables so that application program interfaces (API) can validate
and update Oracle application tables (inbound transactions)
How Oracle EDI Gateway Works with Other Oracle Applications

Oracle Applications are designed with an open architecture for easy
integration with EDI translators and electronic transmission products to
provide a seamless solution. Oracle Applications utilize the Oracle EDI
Gateway to integrate with EDI translator software. EDI translation
software packages integrate with an electronic transmission service to
provide a closedloop between Oracle Applications and the trading
partners application.
The Oracle Applications for Manufacturing, Distribution, and Financials
are EDIenabled using the Oracle EDI Gateway product. The Oracle
EDI Gateway product augments the existing standard paper document
capabilities of Oracle Applications, or adds functionality where no
corresponding paper documents exist.
12
A common EDI implementation is via ASCII data files in a batch

environment. Data from the sending application is extracted into an
application data file. The application data file is received by the
translation software which translates it into the an EDI standard both
trading partners agree upon. Then the EDI data file is placed on a
network for transmission to the receiving application. The receiving
applications EDI translator receives the EDI data file from the network
and begins the file processing in reverse sequence. The translator
translates the EDI data file and creates an application data file
meaningful to the receiving application. The receiving application
receives the application data file for processing and imports the data
into the application.

flow:

flow:

Oracle EDI Gateway Product Architecture

With an open architecture, Oracle Applications allows you to choose the
best translation and electronic transmission service for your business
requirements. You can use a commercially available EDI translator and
transmission provider or use a proprietary solution. The Oracle
Applications and the Oracle EDI Gateway places no restriction on your
choices.
Product Components for All Transactions

The Oracle EDI product architecture consists of the following features
for both outbound and inbound EDI transactions.
Trading Partner Definition
Used for both inbound and outbound transactions to define trading
partner locations within a trading partner group. By defining a trading
partner, you do the following:
enable EDI translations
establish a link to the location or business entity defined in the
Oracle Applications
14
establish a link to the trading partner definition in the EDI

translator.
Code Conversion Definition
Used for both inbound and outbound transactions to convert general
codes between the sending and receiving systems. This can be used to
convert Oracle Applications codes to EDI standard codes or
userdefined codes.
Flexfields
Flexfields (attributes) are userdefined fields in the Oracle Applications.
They are found in both inbound and outbound transactions.
You have to modify the general EDI translator data maps or templates to
use flexfields.
Product Components for Outbound Transactions

The Oracle EDI Gateway product architecture consists of the following
components for outbound transactions:
Oracle Applications Concurrent Program Manager
Used for outbound transactions to initiate data extraction programs that
create interface data files that are passed to the EDI translator for
processing the data into the desired EDI standard.
Stored Procedures to Prevent Duplicate Extraction
Used with outbound transactions to provide encapsulated application
logic to record the EDI transaction in the Oracle application. For
example, the Oracle Purchasing tables are updated to reflect the
extraction of purchase order data. This prevents the same data from
being extracted again.
Transactionspecific Extension Tables
Used with outbound transactions to temporarily store usersupplied
data or data from a nonOracle Applications source that is required by
target EDI documents. See: Extensible EDI Gateway Architecture: page
9 2.
15
Transactionspecific Interface Tables

Used with outbound transactions to temporarily store data extracted
from the Oracle Applications, including converted codes and data
copied from customized extension tables.
Transactionspecific Database Views
Used with outbound transactions to provide encapsulated data selection
logic for the target EDI transaction. You enter selection criteria, using
Standard Request Submission, to launch individual extract programs.
Interface Tables Table
Used with outbound transactions to store the starting record identifier
of each section of the output file and to track which transactionspecific
interface and extension tables are related. The data extract program uses
this information to write the next sequential identifier at the beginning
of each record in the data file.
Interface Columns Table
Used with outbound transactions to store the assigned location of each
data element within the data file. The data extract program uses this
information to write data to the correct position in the data file.
Data Extract Programs
Used with outbound transactions to create a standard ASCII data file
format that can be mapped to any standard. The data file contains data
from Oracle Applications, converted codes from EDI Gateway tables,
and descriptive flexfields defined in both EDI Gateway and the Oracle
applications.
Extension Tables
The EDI Gateway extension tables are used to hold outbound data from
tables that are outside the Oracle application. These extension tables are
installed with EDI Gateway. However, you must define and populate
the table columns if you want to use these tables.
Each transaction interface table has one extension table per interface
table for the given transaction. The extension tables share the same base
interface table name as the transaction with an _X suffix. For
example, the primary interface table ECE_DSNO_ORDERS has the
extension table ECE_DSNO_ORDERS_X.
16
IndustrySpecific Tables
Some Oracle Applications have additional application tables for vertical
industry solutions. These additional tables are detected in the EDI
Gateway by reading system setup tables. If industryspecific tables are
detected, their data, along with customerdefined extension table data,
is copied to the EDI Gateway extension tables during the data extraction
for outbound transactions.
Note: EDI extension tables are not used with inbound
transactions.
Product Components for Inbound Transactions

The Oracle EDI Gateway product architecture consists of the following
components for inbound transactions:
Oracle Applications Concurrent Program Manager
Used for inbound transactions to initiate data load programs that import
interface data files from the EDI translator to EDI Gateway for
processing into Oracle Applications.
Data Load Programs
Used with inbound transactions to load the Oracle Applications open
interfaces from a standard ASCII data file. The data load program
converts external codes in the file to internal codes found in the code
conversion tables. The internal codes found in the code conversion
tables or found in the internal fields as populated by the EDI translator
are loaded into the application open interface tables.
Oracle Applications Open Interface
Used with inbound transactions. The application open interface consists
of temporary interface tables and an application open interface API. The
temporary interface tables are used to store the data loaded by the data
load programs. The API is used to validate the data in the temporary
interface tables and populate the Oracle Application tables. See:
Running the Import Program for Inbound Transactions: page 6 4.
Error detection, reporting, correction, and recovery are addressed by the
respective Oracle Applications.

EDI Standards Supported

The Oracle EDI Gateway product is designed to support any EDI
standard supported by EDI translation software; it is not tailored to any
specific EDI standard.

How To Use Oracle EDI Gateway

To use the Oracle EDI Gateway, perform the following tasks:
Step 1. Define Data File Directories
To use EDI Gateway, you must first create directories where data files,
for both inbound and outbound transactions, are stored. You must then
specify these in the INIT.ORA file and in the EDI Gateway profile
options. See: Defining Data File Directories: page 6 2 and EDI
Gateway Profile Options: page 6 3.
Step 2. Define Trading Partner Data
First, define a trading partner group and associate all trading partner
location (address) entities to this group. Define basic information about
the trading partner and associate that to a specific trading partners
location. This is necessary to integrate Oracle Applications and EDI
translator software. See: Defining Trading Partner Data: page 2 9.
Step 3. Define Code Conversions
The Oracle EDI Gateway code conversion function provides a method
by which trading partner and standard codes can be converted to Oracle
Application codes and vice versa. See: Overview of Code Conversion:
page 3 2.
1.
Define code conversion categories to specify a subset of codes

within the code conversion table. See: Defining Code Conversion
Categories: page 3 13.
2.
For each data element in a transaction that requires code conversion

by EDI Gateway, assign one code conversion category. See:
Assigning Categories: page 3 14.
3.
Enter the actual code conversion values from the internal codes to
external codes into the code conversion table. The internal codes are
defined in the Oracle Applications. The external codes are the
19
associated values required by the trading partner or chosen EDI

standard.
Step 4. Customize Data File Formats
Oracle delivers a standard predefined data file format containing all the
data that may be required to support a particular EDI transaction. You
may customize this data file to meet specific business needs. See:
Changing the Data File: page 5 2.
Step 5. Initiate EDI Transactions
Once data file directories, trading partner information, code
conversions, and optional customizations of data files have been
performed, use Oracle Applications Standard Request Submission to
run extract programs for outbound transactions and import programs
for inbound transactions. See: Running the Extract Programs for
Outbound Transactions: page 6 6, Running the Import Programs for
Inbound Transactions: page 6 4, and Viewing the Status of Concurrent
Programs: page 6 8.

Overview of Trading Partners

The term trading partner is used differently in the context of EDI
translators than in the context of the EDI 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
For the Oracle EDI Gateway, the purpose of trading partner data is to:
crossreference a particular address location in Oracle
Applications to the location code defined for the trading partner
for that address
link the EDI translator trading partner identifier to the EDI
Gateway trading partner for the primary business address entity
in the transaction
enable specific transactions for the EDI Gateway trading partner
In the EDI Gateway, the trading partner is defined as any address in
Oracle Applications. This allows the conversion of location codes
between the senders defined code in their application to the receivers
defined code in their Oracle Application and vice versa. The translator
code definition in the EDI Gateway identifies the trading partner setup
code as defined in the EDI translator.
For example, assume the trading partner defined the address code as
AL012. However, the same physical address was defined as 1234 in
Oracle Applications. Defining the trading partner location in the
appropriate Oracle application ensures that the code AL012 is returned
in transactions.
When defining trading partner data in the EDI Gateway, transactions
must be enabled for the trading partner in order for data to be imported
or extracted and written to the data file.
The primary trading partner location is the location in the transaction
detail records that is reviewed in the EDI Gateway to determine the key
business entity that has ownership of this transaction in the Oracle
Application. This entity is at the address or site level in the transaction.
22
The higher level customer or supplier definition (without addresses) is

determined by the primary site entity found within the transaction.
The EDI translator writes a trading partner code for the record 0010
control record but it is not reviewed by the EDI Gateway. The detail
location codes extracted from N104 and NAD records are reviewed
within the EDI Gateway to determine the primary entity as needed by
the Oracle application.
The primary trading partner location is the address location reviewed
within the transaction to determine the trading partner code for the
record 0010 control record. This is the coded that links the transaction to
the trading partner definition in the EDI translator.

Table 2 1
Each trading partner is assigned a primary address to associate with the

transaction, such as billto address for outbound invoices or shipto
address for inbound purchase orders.
If a trading partner is both a customer and a supplier, Oracle
recommends that you define the partner twice, once as a customer and
once as a supplier. For each, enter a note in the trading partner
description field to indicate whether it is the customer or supplier
definition.
You must define a trading partner header for every location code found
in the transaction. For example, an outbound invoice may have a
remitto location and a shipto location. Both locations must be defined
as trading partners in the EDI Gateway to define the external location
code to appear in transactions.
Test / Production Transaction Status

Each application open interface has its own processing rules for
validating EDI inbound transactions, including those marked as test
transactions. The test / production status code is found on the control
record (0010) in the data file. The status code is set by the EDI translator
for inbound transactions. For outbound transactions, the status code is
set by the EDI Gateway.
Some open interface programs include a test / production status code as
one of the parameters entered when you launch the Standard Request.
This status code may override the test / production status code found in
the control record (0010) for each transaction.
Note: The test / production status code may be presented
differently for various reasons. For example, T for Test, P for
Production, or Y for Yes.
If the application open interface table has a test / production status
code, the following may happen:
24
the test / production status code is passed from the control record
of each transaction to the open interface table without being
overridden by the Standard Request Submission or the open
interface.
the test /production status code is passed from the control record
but overridden by the test / production code from the Standard
Request Submission parameters
the test / production status code is ignored by the application
open interface and is determined from the Standard Request
Submission parameters.
For further information, refer to the Oracle Manufacturing and
Distribution Open Interfaces Manual, Release 11 or the Oracle Financials
Open Interfaces Manual, Release 11.
EDI in a MultiOrganization Environment

A separate EDI responsibility must be defined for each organization that
processes EDI transactions. Therefore, you must run EDI transactions
separately by organization.
Note: Some outbound transactions may operate on all
organizations. However, you must still define a separate
responsibility for each organization.
For outbound transactions, you extract data for the organization
assigned to the current responsibility. So, if you intend to extract data
from multiple organizations, you must do so from separate
responsibilities.
For inbound transactions, the EDI translator, another process, or the
trading partner sending the data file must separate the transactions by
organization before the EDI Gateway imports the data. In other words,
each data file sent by a trading partner should contain only those
transactions into the specific organization.
If you intend to extract data from multiple organizations, you must
switch to Transactions associated with other organizations will not
successfully crossreference the trading partners location codes. The
EDI Gateway associates the organization defined in the EDI Gateway
responsibility with each primary trading partner location during the
location cross reference. If the responsibility has organization A, but all
the trading partner primary locations in the transactions are defined to
organization B in the Oracle Application, the location codes cross
reference process cannot find the location in the Oracle Application. The
25
EDI Gateway reads only trading partner locations for the specified
organization.
Attention: During code conversion, the organization defined in the

EDI responsibility is assigned to the trading partner primary
location. If that organization is not correct for the location, the
application open interface rejects the transaction during validation.
Review the error report or online error handling procedure for the
specific application.
Separate Transactions by Location

EDI translators can separate transactions into different data files.
Transactions can be segregated into:
different trading partner electronic envelopes
different functional groups within the same electronic envelope
different mailboxes.
One solution is to have your trading partner separate the transactions in
separate address locations that mirror your different organizations. If
you have a single physical address that you have defined to two or more
organizations, you may request that your trading partner also
distinguish the locations. They can define unique address site / location
codes in their application even those codes have the same physical
address. The EDI translator can then separate the transactions to
different electronic envelopes or functional groups within envelopes.
The transactions can then be processed separately into different
organizations.
Address Site ID Retrieval

Each transaction is associated with a primary internal location address
site defined in the Oracle application. That has a corresponding external
location code defined by the trading partner. The external code is the
location code found in the ASC X12 N1 name segment or the
UN/EDIFACT NAD name and address segment. Multiple customers
could use the same external location codes because the combination of
their trading partner translator code (their identifier in the EDI
translator) and their external location code make a unique combination
in the EDI Gateway trading partner definition. This pair of codes is
associated with the address site in the Oracle application.
There is a conflict when a given trading partner sends transactions with
the same trading partner translator code and the same external location
codes. However, some of these transactions are split across different
26
organizations. Only one organization can be associated to a given

address site.
Each EDI trading partner location code is derived from a unique address
site ID defined in the Oracle application. That site ID is often written
into the transaction so that the application open interface can correctly
identify the correct address site for the customer, supplier, or other
trading partner.
When extracting or importing transactions, only those address site IDs
that belong to the organization defined for the current responsibility are
retrieved. The same location codes used in other organizations are not
retrieved, since the process is organizationspecific.
The following table illustrates an external location code defined in
multiple organizations. Assume that the trading partner used the code
AB123 that is associated with two addresses in different organizations in
the Oracle application:

Table 2 2 Sample Trading Partner Data
Note: The organization is defined in the Oracle application for this

address site. This is not validated by the EDI Gateway. It may be
passed to the application open interface table given the address site
ID that is retrieved by the EDI Gateway.
The address site ID is assigned when you set up the trading partner
and is retrieved when the EDI Gateway processes the transaction.
The EDI Gateway crossreferences the trading partner external
location code to the Oracle application internal location code
(defined during trading partner set up) to retrieve the associated
address site ID to be used bye the application open interface. For
organization A, only the address site IDs defined for organization A
are retrieved. Address site ID 13567890 in organization B is not
referenced during execution.
27
Attention: If there are problems with transactions loading to the

correct address site, review the organization for the address site, and
check the EDI responsibility in use when loading transactions to the
open interface tables.
Test and Production Environments

The following table describes four possible scenarios for inbound
transactions. If you import a production transaction into either a
production or test environment, or if you import a test transaction in a
test environment, the open interfaces validate the data and load it into
production tables.
However, you must use caution when importing a test transaction into a
production environment. Otherwise, test data is imported into your
production environment.

Test Transaction to Production Environment

Caution: Unless care is exercised, test transactions may be
processed into production tables. You must set up test / production
status codes properly in your EDI translator and enter them
properly when you launch Standard Requests to ensure test data is
not loaded into your production database.
If the application open interface has a test / production status code and
it is set for test, validation is performed but data is not committed to the
database. (To perform a complete test where data is committed to the
database, you must set up a test environment with a test database.)
28
If the trading partner is currently in production for the particular

transaction at the particular site, and you want to test a transaction for
that trading partner, make sure that you set up a trading partner for the
test transaction with a different translator code. All test transactions
must be given a different translator code when defining trading partner
data. All test / production flags are associated with the combination of
the trading partner definition and the translator code. Providing
different translator codes for production and test transactions ensures
that the two are not confused. This is only necessary if the trading
partner is mixing production and test transactions for the same locations
within one translator code.

Overview of Code Conversion

The Oracle EDI Gateway code conversion function provides a method
by which trading partner codes can be converted from and to codes
used in Oracle Applications. For example, assume that the ABC
Corporation transmits a purchase order to the XYZ Corporation. The
XYZ Corporation processes the incoming data using its own internal
codes, but they are required to return the ABC Corporations original
codes. In this way, the trading partner that created the original
transaction receives response transactions in their own internal codes.
The code conversion function enables you to:
Store trading partners external data that is equivalent to internal
application data.
Store and translate different categories of data, including unit of
measure, carrier code, and location codes such as shipto, billto,
and remitto locations.
Store and read key information from the EDI translator to
validate inbound transactions. For outbound transactions, this
information is used to pass meaningful information to the EDI
translator.
Identify unique conversion codes at the customer, customer site,
or up to five levels of a search key: for example, a customer with
multiple shipto locations, each of which has unique carrier
codes, all of which must be converted to internal carrier codes.
Each data element in the data file contains data as defined in the
senders or in the receivers application. The type of data that is
typically converted includes location codes, item (product) codes, carrier
codes, and unit of measurements.
For example, Purchasing defines buyer product codes and locations
while Order Entry defines supplier product codes and customer
locations. A code conversion or cross reference must be established
before the correct product can be shipped to the correct location.
There are several types of codes that need converting and they may be
converted in two places.
Item Code Conversion

Buyer product codes and supplier product codes are likely to be
different. Some trading partners may send both the buyer and supplier
product codes. Others may send only one. Often the product code must
be converted to the internally defined product code even if both product
32
codes are sent. An Oracle Application internal code sent from a trading
partner may not be reliable.
Generally, it is appropriate that the application retain both the buyer and
supplier product codes to avoid future code conversions. If this is not
done, consider using an API within the application to convert the codes.
Alternately, if the product fields are identified in the EDI Gateway as
candidates for general code conversion as assigned in the Code
Conversion Assignment window, EDI Gateway can convert the codes if
a code category is assigned.
For inbound transactions, item (product) code conversions are
performed by the application open interface, when possible.
For outbound transactions, item (product) code conversions are
performed by APIs called by the EDI Gateway during the transaction
extract when possible.
Alternately, item code conversion can be performed by the EDI Gateway
general code conversion tables, if not addressed by the Oracle
Applications.
Both the internal and external items should be in the data files.
Location Code Conversion

Trading partners have address location codes generated by their
respective applications to represent the same physical address. For
example, the trading partner location site code ABC, which is externally
defined to your application, must be converted to code 123 before your
application recognizes the location site.
You can perform most location code conversions by properly setting up
trading partners in the EDI Gateway. See: Defining Trading Partner
Information: page 2 9.
Location code conversion does not use the general code conversions
except where noted in a specific transaction. Some types of locations
may need a code conversion through the general code conversion set up
if the particular location application address table does not
accommodate the link to the EDI Gateway.
General Code Conversion

Like trading partner location codes, many general codes need
converting. These codes usually are found in two categories:
Oracle application codes to EDI or ISO standard codes
Code Conversion
33
Oracle application codes to trading partnerspecific codes.

Oracle Application Codes to EDI Standard Codes or ISO Codes
Codes like unit of measurement, currency, and country codes have been
defined by standards organizations such as ASC X12 and EDIFACT.
However, these codes may not be the codes recognized by the Oracle
application where many fields are userdefined. Hence, any codes of
this class in the standard transaction must be converted to data that the
Oracle application can recognize.
Oracle Application Codes to Trading Partnerspecific Codes
Codes like carrier codes may be defined in the trading partners
application. Like standard defined codes, these codes must be
converted to internal codes to be recognized by the Oracle application.
A response transaction may be required to return the codes exactly as
they were received in the original transaction. Either the application
retained both the external and internal codes or code conversion must be
performed to reverse the original code conversion.
The EDI Gateway code conversion function performs the general code
conversion.
During code conversion:
external data is converted to internal application data for inbound
transactions
internal application data is converted to external data for the
trading partner for outbound transactions.
General code conversions for inbound and outbound transactions can be
accommodated with the EDI Gateway or the EDI translator. You decide
which application is the best for your environment, user responsibilities,
and application access.
Inbound transactions can crossreference the data during the EDI
Gateway processing. The inbound transaction files are not updated by
the EDI Gateway with the internal codes, although they are defined on
the data file record. The retrieved codes are loaded into the interface
tables for the API without writing the codes to the data files.
The EDI Gateway only uses the data defined as internal data for the
application interface tables. Either the EDI Gateway or the EDI
translator must determine the internal code given the external data
found in the transaction.
For inbound transactions, if the code conversion for a data element is
enabled in the Assign Categories window, the code conversion takes
34
place even if it was already done in the EDI translator if there is data in
the external field. For outbound transactions, code conversion always
occurs if the data element is enabled for code conversion.
Data that needs converting has at least two data elements defined on an
outbound record on the Oracle data file. One data element contains the
data as defined in the Oracle application (internal data), and the other
data element has the data as requested by the trading partner or
required by the standards (external data).
Each internal code may crossreference one to five external fields.
The EDI translator should use the external fields in their general data
maps, if populated. If no values exist in the external fields, then, use the
internal fields.
Code Conversion Categories

A code conversion category is a code that represents a subset of entries
in the general code conversion table. For example, table entries under
category UOM cover unit of measurement code conversion; table
entries under category SHIP VIA cover carrier / ship via code
conversions. See: Defining Code Conversion Categories: page 3 13.
Oracle EDI Gateway provides a set of seeded code categories. However,
you can define your own code category names. You could use a
different category per application. For example, UOM_OE and
UOM_PO could be used for unit of measurements in Order Entry and
Purchasing, respectively.
A single code category can be used with many data elements within a
transaction and across many transactions.
If the entries for code conversion apply to all trading partners, do not
enable key search fields when assigning categories. These fields are
used to indicate how many search keys to use to find table entries for a
specific trading partner. For example, if Key 1 is used, one data field
may be used in a search key to find entries with a specific value in one
key. If Key 2 is also used, a second data field is concatenated to the first
search key to narrow the table entry to a more specific business entity.
Up to five keys may be used as a search key for the table entries. See:
Assigning Categories: page 3 14.
The actual code conversion values for a specific trading partner are
entered when you define code conversion values. From one to five
search keys can be entered to narrow the table search to specific trading
partners or any entity identified in the data file. See: Defining Code
Conversion Values: page 3 18.
Code Conversion
35
Note: If a category is used across many transactions and the

code conversion table is trading partner or trading partner
sitespecific (i.e., does not apply globally), verify that each
transaction has the same trading partner or trading partner site
data in the transactions for entries in the code conversion value
tables.
For example, assume the SHIP_VIA is used in the Order Entry inbound
purchase order and outbound invoice transactions. Assume also that
the purchase order transaction has supplier codes, but the invoice
transaction has supplier numbers. In this case, the code conversion
values entered require different table entries: one set for the supplier
number as key; the other set for the supplier code as the key.
Search Keys
Code conversion for a given trading partner may have one to five keys
to search a table for their specific codes. For example, carrier codes may
be set up for a specific destination (ship to) location, a specific customer
(over several ship to locations), or be a generic code across all customers.
To limit a code conversion table entry to any entity, search keys must be
established; otherwise, the internal and external codes in the table entry
apply to all trading partners.
When a search of the code conversion table begins, all defined keys (up
to five) are concatenated and treated as a single search key. If the search
is unsuccessful, the last key is removed and the search is performed
again with all remaining keys. The removal of one key continues until a
table entry is found. If no entry is found, the default is used. If the
default is not found, null is returned.
An accurate number of keys must be enabled for the data element to
avoid superfluous access to the code conversion table. For example, if
five keys are enabled, but only two keys are entered in the code
conversion values, the table is accessed three times without benefit.
Similarly, if the code conversion value table has data in search keys 1
and 2, but no keys are enabled, only a global, generic search is made and
the keys are ignored.
The data elements used in the search key must be defined in the tables
and columns assigned to the specific transaction in the Assign
Categories window.
In addition, the number of search keys used must be enabled in the
Code Conversion Categories window to use the keys specified in the
Assign Categories Window.

Code Conversion Category Setup

In the Code Conversion Categories window, two Key Used check boxes
were enabled for code conversion category SHIP_VIA. In this case, the
search keys contain the customer code and the shipto site code.
In the Assign Categories window, assume the following:
transaction = Purchase Order Inbound
output level = header
view name = SO_HEADERS_INTERFACE
reference view column = SHIP_VIA
Assume the category SHIP_VIA and the column name where the actual
customer code is found is entered under Key 1 View Column. Use
CUSTOMER_NUMBER.
The column name where the actual ship to site code is found is entered
under Key 2 View Column. Use SHIP_TO_SITE_NUMBER.
Code Conversion Values Setup
The following table shows the data as set up in the Code Conversion
Values window (the code conversion category is SHIP_VIA):

UPSBLUE

UPS
FED_EXP

FEDEXP
In the Code Conversion Value window, the actual customer code for the
specific trading partner is entered under Key 1. Use 1004 for their
specific customer code.
The actual shipto site code for the specific trading partner is entered
under Key 2. Use 1010 for their specific ship to site number.
First, the two keys, customer code and the shipto site number, are
concatenated to 1004+1010. The search is performed using this
concatenated key (1004 + 1010). If no value is found, a second search by
the customer code alone (1004) is made. If no value is found, a default
code conversion value (no key specified) is used. If no default is found,
null is returned.
During the execution of the EDI Gateway of inbound transactions, the
internal data found during code conversion is written to the application
interface tables. For outbound transactions, the internal and external
codes are written to the data file according to the data file definition
defined in the Interface File Definition window. The EDI translator
should use the external fields in their general data maps if populated;
otherwise, use the internal fields.
Code Conversion Values

The actual codes to be converted are defined in the Code Conversion
Values window.
The transaction data file may have data in the External Code 1 through
External Code 5 from the EDI translator data mapping. For example,
the carrier code may be in external code 1 and transportation method
(air, land, sea) may be moved to external code 2. These two codes
together determine the internal code used by the Oracle Application.
38
If the EDI translator does the code conversion, the resulting code is
moved to the internal code.
If the EDI Gateway does the code conversion, the derived internal code
is passed to the application open interface tables and not written to the
data file.
The transaction data files have the Oracle Application internal code, and
External Code 1 through External Code 5 (as many as indicated for this
transaction field in the Interface File Definition window).
When the EDI translator does the data map, it maps data from the
external fields if they are populated. Otherwise, they map the internal
codes to their position in the standard.

Note the following:

The Oracle data files have one data field for the Oracledefined
internal codes and one to five data element fields for their
external counterparts. An internal code is a code defined in the
transaction host Oracle Application regardless of the direction of
the transaction.
For inbound data, the data from the standard transactions that
need code conversions are moved to the external data elements in
the data files by the EDI translators. The EDI Gateway can
determine the internal data elements. If the EDI translator
Code Conversion
39
determines the Oracle internal code, it is written to the data

elements internal code field in addition to the external values.
For outbound data, the Oracle application data is stored in the
internal field. If the internal data is crossreferenced, the results
of the code conversion are stored in the external data elements.
The EDI Translators should usually move the data in the external
fields to the standard transactions. If no data is present in the
external fields, the internal fields should be mapped to the
standard.
Most code conversions match one internal code to one external
code. In this case, only one external field is activated on the data
file. You can choose to activate the external fields 25 if necessary
for the transaction. Data field conversions that are known by the
application to convert to more than one external code are
indicated in the predefined data files.
Use of Two Standards in Code Conversion

There are three options to accommodate code conversion to two or more
standards in the EDI Gateway:
one constant standard code in the data file in a single external
record
multiple standard codes in the data file in a single external field
multiple standard codes in multiple external fields in the data file
One Constant Standard Code in the Data File in a Single External
Field
Let the EDI Translator convert the code on the file to a second standard.

There is the option that one standard (such as ASC X12) be maintained
in the EDI Gateway and written to the data file. If some trading
partners require an alternative standard (such as EDIFACT), the first
standard on the data file can be converted to the second standard (such
3 10
as ASC X12 to EDIFACT) by the EDI translator for specific trading

partners.
This second standard code conversion is minimized in the EDI
translator if the predominant standard is converted in the EDI Gateway
and the second standard is converted in the EDI translator.

Most code conversions are likely to have one internal code to one
external code. Consequently, most data elements have just one
anticipated external field defined in the EDI Gatewaydefined data files.
However, the EDI Gateway code conversion process can write two
standards codes, one in External code 1, the other in External code 2, to
the data file by doing the following:
Code Conversion
3 11
In the Code Conversion Categories window:

enabling the corresponding Used Key 2 fields
indicating one standard in the external 1 field, and the
second standard in the external 2 field for the same table
entry.
In the Interface File Definition window:
Add an external 2 field to the data file by assigning it a
record number, position, width, conversion sequence, record
layout, record layout qualifier, and so on to ensure that the
additional fields are written to all desired records in the data
file.
Note: Any record within the transaction must be 600 characters
or less. If the activated external value 2 forced the record
beyond 600 characterss, you can move the external value 2 to
another record within the data level of that transaction. Data
levels indicate header, item, or other detail level tables of that
transaction. Alternatively, other data elements can be moved to
other records to make room for external value 2.
If you change interface records over time, but continue to archive
transactions to the same historical file, you may not be able to recreate
the standard records in the EDI translator. Different data file record
layouts may have the same modified map name.
Unused external codes 25 may be found at the end of the interface
tables in the Code Conversion Values window since they were not
assigned a record number, position, width, conversion sequence, record
layout code, record layout qualifier and other data file data by the EDI
Gateway.
If the external 2 code was not at the end of the tables, this method
cannot be used on that specific data field. Contact World Wide Support
to report the required data element from the EDI Gateway interface
table.
Note: Changes you make to all interface records require
changes to the EDI Translator data map.
The EDI Translator data maps or templates need changes to recognize
the additional standard code in the additional external fields, and use
the correct standard code for the appropriate trading partner.

Defining Code Conversion Categories

All desired categories, such as unit of measure or carrier code, must be
defined. Each category is associated with a specific table and column
that contains the Oracle internal data. Any category can be used in
several transactions, or several times within a single transaction.
Once defined, code conversion categories must be assigned to table
columns to activate the code conversion for the specific data element.
You can use a code conversion category for the EDI Gateways
predefined list or you can define your own code conversion category.
"
To define additional code conversion categories:

1.
Navigate to the Code Conversion Categories window.
2.
Enter the category code and description.
3.
To assign code conversion values to specific trading partners, enable

one or more search keys.

To assign code conversion categories:

1.
Navigate to the Assign Categories window.
2.
Select a transaction.
3.
Select an output level.

The views and column names for fields identified by the EDI
Gateway for code conversion are displayed.
All the data elements identified as code conversion candidates are
displayed. For outbound transactions, the list of data elements from
each interface view table is displayed, sorted by output level.
For inbound transactions, the list of data elements from each
application open interface table is displayed, sorted by output level.
Output level is an indicator of each table defined in the EDI
Gateway, for example, HEADER, ITEM, or DETAIL.
4.
Assign a code category to activate code conversion for the view or

application open interface column. If no code category is assigned,
code conversion is not performed. See: Predefined Code Categories:
page 3 15.
5.
Specify a view or application open interface table column (Key 1

through Key 5) containing the key search value if a code cross
reference is applied selectively to only certain trading partners or
EDI transaction.
However, if you intend a code cross reference to apply globally for
all trading partners, do not enter values for key view column fields.
Attention: The values for the specified view column are used to
access the code conversion cross reference table for the
corresponding external value(s). If no entry is found which
corresponds to the search key, the global code cross reference value
is applied.

Data File Structure
4 1
Overview of Data File Structure

Oracle EDI Gateway produces an ASCII data file for outbound
transactions. For inbound transactions, EDI Gateway processes an
ASCII data file produced by the EDI translator software that contains
the trading partners business data.
Each data file consists of several records. Each record has two sections,
the record key (positions 1100) and the application data area (positions
101 to 600).
The structure is shown in the following table:
Data

Table 4 1
You can customize the data file per your specifications and define any
logical record size to be less than 600 bytes.
Reusable Predefined Records

Predefined record layouts such as those for addresses, contacts, and
flexfields are defined by the EDI Gateway. However, verify each data
element length in the detail record for discrepancies.
4 2
Control Record (Record Number 0010)

All transactions begin with a control record that contains transaction
identification, trading partner identification, key document numbers,
document codes, and batch control numbers. Batch control numbers
from the standard transactions are for inbound transactions only since
they are received with the transactions.
Record Key
Each record within a transaction has a record key area of 100 characters
(positions 1100). This area contains the trading partner code, one to
three key identifiers from the transaction document, and record
identification codes. This data should facilitate sorting of the file if data
must be regrouped to facilitate alternate data mapping, and audit and
research of transactions when needed.
The record number in positions 9295 is the record identifier to indicate
the set of data elements on the record.
Each transaction writes different data in Key1, Key2, and Key3 in
positions 2691. Key1 should be the primary document identifier, for
example, invoice number for the invoice transaction, and purchase order
number for the procurement transactions.
Flexfields
The EDI Gateway defines all descriptive flexfields with length of 80
characters instead of their maximum table length of 150 characters.
Most flex fields span four interface file records to store 15 flex fields or
five interface records for 20 flex fields depending on the application
tables. The customer may shorten the fields to actual lengths for their
data and fit the flex fields onto fewer records, or even one record if they
choose. (Use the Interface File Definition window to make these
adjustments.) See: Changing the Data File: page 5 2.
Redefinable Records
You can redefine which records are actually written to the interface file
from all the predefined records in the general transaction extract. (Use
the Interface File Definition window to make these adjustments.) See:
Changing the Data File: page 5 2.
After the records are defined and written to the interface file, all the
defined records are written to the interface table even if there is no
application data after the record key area. There is no skipping of
Data File Structure
4 3
flexfield records if there is no application data, except in the case where

the record is suppressed by removing the data element using the
Interface File Definition window. See: Changing the Data File: page
5 2.
Control Record Layout

Record 0010 is the common control record to be used by both the EDI
Gateway and the EDI translator for trading partner identification and
processing rules. It includes information identifying the transaction
type, transaction date and time, trading partner code, EDI document
being transmitted, and whether it is a test or production transaction.
This record is 600 characters long. The common control record layout is
illustrated in the following table:

The exact record number blocks varies by transaction due to variations

in the data required. However, the hierarchy remains the same. Large
transactions may have any level span over several blocks of 1000. For
example, the header level may span from 1000 to 3999, and the item
level may span from 4000 to 5999.

Record Key (1100)

The following table describes the Oracle data file record key which
occupies the first 100 characters of each record in every transaction. This
area facilitates any visual audit and research into the file.
Note: The content of the first 100 characters on the control
(0010) record is defined the same as every other record in the
interface file.
Some of the transaction data in the record key may be truncated so the
EDI translator should refer to the full transaction data in the data area
(positions 101512) of the record.

The data in Key 1 through Key 3 varies by the transaction and the record

uniquely identify a record.

of the control 0010 record.
Keys 23 represents other data at the second and third level within the
transaction. A transaction may have more than three levels of data
which are not stored in the key area.
Record Number (9295)

The record number is a unique number within a transaction to identify
specific data in a transaction. EDI translators should rely on the record
number to uniquely identify a record in the data file.
Data levels in a transaction have record numbers in the thousandth
range. A sample of a simple numbering scheme and a larger range
numbering scheme are displayed in the following table. Any
transaction may use any range of numbers for a data level. The number
usually increments by 10 within a data level.
The record numbers are not used consistently across transactions. For
example, the record 1050 may contain different data depending upon
the transaction.
The X900 series in any range is reserved for EDI Gateway extension
tables for consistency.

Record Layout Code (9697)

The record layout code is used to indicate the type of data in the record.
These codes are particularly useful when reusable records such as
addresses and flexfields are used in the file.
Except for reusable records defined by the EDI Gateway, the record
layout may have a different meaning across transactions. For example,
the record layout IT may contain different data depending upon the
transaction.
4 14
Record Qualifiers (98100)

Record qualifier codes qualify what type of data is on the reusable
records or any other record in the transaction. For example, an AD
address record must be qualified to be a shipto, billto, remitto, and so
on address record for visual purposes.
Other record qualifiers are assigned to every record in the transaction to
complete the record key, but they do not necessarily facilitate data
mapping since only the record number uniquely identifies a record to
the EDI translator.

Record Layout Codes Summary

Record layout codes are indicated in positions 9697 of the record key.
Several data elements relate to each other and can be found in several
standard transactions. These related elements, for example, include
addresses, contact data, and flexfields. The actual content of any record
is qualified by the record layout qualifier, for example, ST or ST1 for
shipto address, and BT or BT1 for billto address.
Attention: You can modify these record layouts. However, any

changes may affect the EDI translator data map you may be
using.

Mapping Rules for EDI Translators

The following rules apply to EDI translators:
Outbound and Inbound Transactions

If you use descriptive flexfields, you must define them in the Oracle
Application. They require custom changes to the EDI translator data
map for correct placement in the EDI standard or application.
Rely on the record number on every record in Positions 9295 to identify
the record content.
Outbound Transactions Only

A given data element may have both internal Oracle application values
and corresponding external values made up of one to five distinct fields.
For a given data element, the first place to find data is the external fields.
If the External field is empty, move data from the internal fields. Apply
code conversion if necessary.
Inbound Transactions Only

The EDI Gateway can only use the data defined as internal data for the
application open interface tables. Either the EDI Gateway or the EDI
translator must determine the internal code given the external data
found in the transaction. If the code conversion for a data element is
enabled by the Assign Categories window, EDI Gateway performs the
Data File Structure
4 25
code conversion even if the code conversion was already performed in

the EDI translator and there is data in the internal field.
If both internal and external data elements are present in a standard
transaction for a given piece of business data, the EDI translator should
move the data from the standard transaction to the internal and external
field in the data file.
4 26
CHAPTER
Data File Definition

T
his chapter tells discusses how to change the data file format for all
transactions:
51
Changing the Data File

Both inbound and outbound data files are predefined by Oracle EDI
Gateway. The data file may be used as defined or customized to match
your specific business requirements.
Some of the reasons to modify the predefined file format include:
exclude unused columns and unused records
change column size
rearrange data file layout within an interface table
activate data elements in the interface table
change sequence of the five external fields resulting from code
conversion
change the layout code
change the layout qualifier
By making the data file formats tabledriven, your format changes take
effect immediately without any code changes.
"
To change the data file definition:

1.
52
Attention: You cannot use this window to add data elements or

records to the data file format, unless they are already defined to the
EDI Gateway interface tables.
Navigate to the Interface File Definition window.
2.
Select the transaction type.
3.
Select the data level. This is a sixcharacter EDI Gateway code that
identifies the desired transaction and interface table.
This identifies the level of data within the transaction defined in the
EDI Gateway interface table structure. The levels may differ when
compared to the base application tables as data is denormalized.
All the records for the output level are displayed. The data format
for outbound transactions is displayed by EDI Gateway interface
table name and column. The data format for inbound transactions is
displayed by application open interface table name and column.
You cannot change the data in these two columns.
4.
Change the record number.

You can change the record number to another number within the
same level or enter blanks to exclude the record from the data file.
The record number indicates the relative position of a group of data
in a file.
5.
Change the position number.

You can change the position number to another number within the
record or enter blanks to exclude the column from the data file.
The position number identifies the relative position of a data item in
a record. Each record item is numbered sequentially for each logical
group up to 512 bytes of data. A record can support more than 512
bytes only if the EDI translator software can support longer records.
6.
Change the width of the data element.

Most data elements have lengths based on standards. Those lengths
are usually longer in Oracle Applications. You may increase the
length up to the length in the Oracle application as needed per data
element.
7.
Change the sequence of external codes.

This identifies the order of the five external values derived by
applying code conversion to an internal Oracle data element.
Positions for five return values are allocated with default sequence
numbers 1 to 5.
You may retain as many external values in the set required by your
code conversion rules. Or, you may delete all five external values in
the set if code conversion is not used.
A conversion sequence of 0 is reserved for the Oracle internal value.
Do not change.
53
8.
Change the record layout code.

This identifies the data content of a data element. These codes are
predefined for the transaction. Generic record layouts for addresses
and flexfields are defined and used across all transactions. Other
record layouts are defined for a specific transaction. You may
modify the predefined value. See: Record Layout Codes: page
4 16.
9.
Change the record layout qualifier.

This identifies the type of data in the record. For example, a generic
record layout code for addresses may have a record layout qualifier
that identifies the address as a shipto, billto, or remitto address
type. You may modify the predefined value.

Importing and Extracting EDI Documents
61
Defining Data File Directories

During implementation, the system administrator sets up inbound and
outbound data file directories.
For the EDI Gateway, define inbound and outbound directories in the
INIT.ORA file and in the ECE: Inbound directory and ECE:
Outbound file path profile options. See: EDI Gateway Profile Options:
page 6 3.
You must define these directories in three places: on your computer, the
INIT.ORA file, and in two profile options. The inbound directory
specification must match in all three places; the outbound directory
must match in all three places.
"
To define data file directories:

1.
Create one directory on your computer to house inbound data files,

and one to house outbound data files.
2.
In the INIT.ORA file, add one line to designate the inbound

directory and one line to designate the outbound directory. Both
must match exactly the directories you created in the previous step.
The syntax is the same for both:
utl_file_dir=directory
where directory is the properly formatted (operating system

dependent) pathname of an existing directory. (For UNIX
operating systems, include the leading slash, /, to designate the
root directory. For example, the following two lines designate the
inbound and outbound directories on a UNIX system:
utl_file_dir=/home/oracle/inbound
utl_file_dir=/home/oracle/outbound
Note: Make sure these directories have open read and write
permissions.

Oracle EDI Gateway Profile Options

During implementation, the system administrator sets up profile
options.
For the EDI Gateway, you must create inbound and outbound
directories on your computer, and then specify them in the INIT.ORA
file and in the ECE: Inbound directory and ECE: Outbound file
path profile options, respectively. See: Defining Data File Directories:
page 6 2.
ECE: Inbound directory
Indicate the directory where inbound data files are expected. This
value must match the actual directory on disk and that designated in
the INIT.ORA file.
ECE: Output file path
Indicate the directory where outbound data files are written. This
value must match the actual directory on disk and that designated in
the INIT.ORA file.

Running the Import Program for Inbound Transactions

The Oracle EDI Gateway reads the EDI translatorprovided data file
and writes the data into the application open interface tables. The
Application Open Interface validates the data and populates the
application database tables. Data that does not pass validation is
marked for corrective action.
Validation is based on the same business rules applied to the data if it
were entered manually.
Validation is performed at the transaction, header, and detail levels.
Only valid data is imported into the application database.
If no value is found for a required data field, the application open
interface derives default values based on standard value rule sets for
required fields.
Refer to the Oracle Manufacturing Implementation Manual, Release 10 and
the Oracle Financials Open Interface Manual, Release 10 for descriptions of
each Application Open Interface and their corresponding error
detection and recovery processes. Included in the descriptions are
standard value rule sets.
The import program performs the following functions common to all
inbound EDI transactions. The EDI Gateway:
retrieves processing rules defined for the trading partner and
transaction
applies trading partner location cross reference
imports trading partner business data into the application open
interface tables
applies code conversion to external data to derive Oracle
Applications internal data
The Oracle Application Open Interface:
validates data in the application open interface tables
populates the application database with valid data
marks erroneous data for corrective action in the application

Supplier Scheduling uses components of Oracle Purchasing to calculate
and maintain schedules. Use the Approved Supplier list created in
Purchasing to establish a relationship between the shipto organization,
supplier site, and item.
Information related to approved purchase requisitions, approved supply
agreement releases, receipts from supplier, returns to supplier and
associated adjustments are used to determine the supplier requirement.
8 27
Oracle Planning
Supplier Scheduling also uses components of Oracle Planning to
calculate and maintain schedules. Use Sourcing Rules (which may be
created in Purchasing, Oracle Supply Chain Planning, or Supplier
Scheduling) to define how an item is replenished for a given
organization. This includes the ability to identify multiple supplier
sources, their percentage splits, and priority ranking.
Information related to unimplemented planned orders generated by
Planning via MPS, MRP, or DRP are used to determine the supplier
requirement.

schedule header, schedule line, and schedule line details.
Each planning schedule contains one schedule header record that
applies to the entire schedule. The schedule header is followed by one
or more schedule lines, each representing an item. Each schedule line is
followed by one or more line details representing requirements,
authorizations, and the items last and cumulative receipts.
The ship to location is at the schedule line level. All schedule quantities
are discrete quantities, not cumulative quantities. The CUM enabling
flag addresses only the receipt data to be provided as a CUM receipt
quantity. The CUM enabling flag does not impact the schedule
requirements.
The line details section includes the following:
Requirements
Up to 60 occurrences per the userdefined bucket

and planning horizon for the schedule.
Prior
Authorization
One occurrence if authorizations are enabled at the

Approved Suppliers list.
Authorizations
One occurrence for each authorization type if

authorizations are enabled at the Approved
Supplier list. Authorizations cover raw material,
labor, labor & material or finished goods.
Last Receipt
One occurrence identifying the quantity, date and

shipment number of the last receipt for the item.
Cumulative
Receipt
One occurrence identifying the cumulative receipt

quantity for the item if CUM accounting is enabled.

General Information
The supplier scheduling transactions support the following transactions
and their counterparts in any other standard:
Planning Schedule (830) / Delivery Just in Time (DELJIT)
Shipping Schedule (862) / Delivery Schedule (DELFOR)
The outbound planning and shipping schedule data file definition
describes the position, field name, field size, and format of each record
in the data file.
Details for the ASC X12 transactions are documented below.
The shipping schedule transaction does not include the last shipment
receipt records 2040 and the 4000 with Detail Descriptor set to RECEIPT
or authorizations with Detail Descriptor set to AUTHORIZATION.
Otherwise, the interface files are identical.
Discrete (actual) requirement quantities are indicated in the buckets in
the application, i.e., in a weekly bucket, the quantity required for that
week only.
The EDI Translator needs to build cumulative required quantities using
the cum received quantity if the trading partner wants a cumulative
schedule.
Ship to Location
The Ship to location may be found in the header level of the transaction
(records 10301060) if the single location applies to the entire
transaction. Alternately, the Ship to location may be found at the detail
level (records 20502060) for a given item. In each case, the Ship To Org
Enable CUM Flag indicates that the site is using CUM quantities, and
that the Ship To Org CUM Period Start Date should be used whenever a
start date is needed in the detail.
ASC X12 Specifics

Supplier Scheduling supports the following data on the Beginning
Segment for Planning Schedule (BRF) segment in the 830 transaction.

Last Receipt Data (Record 2040) Item Level

The application shipment data is copied to the Item level (record 2040)
from the shipment level (record 4000) since the last shipment data
applies to the item. The data is copied from two Forecast/Planned
Detail (4000) records with Detail Category set to RECEIPT.
This data is mapped to the ASC X12 Shipped (SHP) and Reference (REF)
segments.

Forecast/Planned Details (Record 4000)

Record 4000 in the Supplier Scheduling interface file contains data from
several sources. This causes the data to be mapped to one of the
following segments in ASC X12:
Shipped/Received Information (SHP)
Resource Authorization (ATH)
Forecast Schedule (FST)
The Detail Category and the Detail Descriptor in the record indicate the
content of specific data. The combination of these two fields and their
record content are summarized in Table 8 19.
The dates on the Forecast Schedule (FST) segment represent the starting
date for the bucketed period only. Ending date is applicable only for
Detail Descriptor BUFFER in the Record 4000.
A given transaction may technically have a mixture of planning
schedules with discrete and cumulative based quantities if the supplier
scheduling process does not prohibit it across all the items within a
single transaction.
8 34
The quantities and start/end dates on record 4000 data for a given
Detail Category and Detail Descriptor varies depending upon if the
SHIP_TO_ORG_ ENABLE_CUM_FLAG is enabled. See the Record 4000
Detail tables below for their content.
Last Receipt Data (Record 4000) Shipment Level

Last shipment data and cumulative receipt data are found in a Record
4000 (detail level) with Detail Category RECEIPT and Descriptor LAST
and CUMULATIVE, respectively. The data was combined at the item
level into Record 2040 (item level). Either may be used for data
mapping in the EDI Translator; however, the data is appropriate at the
item level and more likely to be mapped from that level.

The Detail Descriptor of PAST_DUE is different as noted above.

Total quantity is the sum of released and forecast quantity. If
needed, you can demote the release quantity to forecast when a
bucketed period includes both. Sending both released and
forecasted in the same time period is not actually done in EDI.
However, Oracle data comes from two different sources that do not
make each other mutually exclusive, so this could happen.

Outbound Shipping Schedule (862 / DELJIT)

Use this transaction to communicate shortterm firm requirements and
shipping schedules to your suppliers. Shipping schedules are usually
stated in daily buckets and are used to refine planning schedules in
support of a JustinTime planning environment.
This transaction supersedes certain shipping and delivery information
transmitted in a previous planning schedule (830 transaction), but does
not replace it.
This transaction may not be used to authorize labor, material, or other
resources.

Prerequisite Setup in Oracle Applications

Oracle Supplier Scheduling
Create shipping schedules manually using the Schedulers Workbench
or automatically using AutoSchedule.
Define bucket patterns, enable CUM Accounting to track quantity
received by supplier site. Unlike a planning schedule (830 transaction),
the concept of authorizations does not apply to shipping schedules.
Use Scheduler Workbench or enable AutoConfirm option in
AutoSchedule to confirm your schedules. Only confirmed shipping
schedules may be transmitted via EDI to your supplier(s).
Oracle Purchasing
Supplier Scheduling uses components of Oracle Purchasing to calculate
and maintain schedules. Use the Approved Supplier list created in
Purchasing to establish a relationship between the shipto organization,
supplier site, and item.
Information related to approved purchase requisitions, approved supply
agreement releases, receipts from supplier, returns to supplier and
associated adjustments are used to determine the supplier requirement.
8 47
Oracle Planning
Supplier Scheduling also uses components of Oracle Planning to
calculate and maintain schedules. Use Sourcing Rules (which may be
created in Purchasing, Oracle Supply Chain Planning, or Supplier
Scheduling) to define how an item is replenished for a given
organization. This includes the ability to identify multiple supplier
sources, their percentage splits, and priority ranking.
Information related to unimplemented planned orders generated by
Planning via MPS, MRP, or DRP are used to determine the supplier
requirement.

items last and cumulative receipts.
The line details section includes the following:
Requirements
Up to 60 occurrences per the userdefined bucket

and planning horizon for the schedule.
Last Receipt
One occurrence identifying the quantity, date and

shipment number of the last receipt for the item.
Cumulative
Receipt

Outbound Purchase Order Change Request (860 / ORDCHG)

Use this transaction to request a change to a previously submitted
purchase order (PO). You may include changes for approved POs of the
type standard POs, planned POs, planned releases, blanket purchase
agreements, and blanket releases.

ORDCHG
Supported changes by this transaction include:

cancel line
add line
change price
change quantity
change shipto location
change shipment date
change shipment quantity
Cancelling a PO at the header level cancels every line associated with
the PO. New lines are appended to the end; old line numbers are not
reused.
To maintain shipment data integrity, all shipment information associated
with a PO line are sent to the supplier, even if changes were made to
only one shipment.
Note: Check with the trading partner to verify their ability to
process any type of change.

Use Purchasing to change an existing purchase order or blanket
purchase agreement. You may cancel a line, add a line, change the line
price or quantity, change the shipto location, or shipment date or
quantity.
If your Purchasing system option is set to Archive on Approval, you
must reapprove changed POs before transmitting them to your supplier.

Outbound Ship Notice / Manifest (856 / DESADV)

Use this transaction to list the contents of a shipment including
departure and delivery data such as carrier, parties involved with the
shipment, container, order; product data such as description, physical
characteristics, type of packaging, lot and serial numbers; and
allowances and charges.
This transaction is initiated by the shipping application or by EDI
Gateway if necessary.

Prerequisite Setup in Oracle Order Entry

Use Oracle Order Entry to enter and maintain customer orders.
Alternately, Order Entrys OrderImport can be used to import customer
orders from nonOracle order management systems and EDI
transactions.
After the customer order is entered, use Order Entry to book, approve,
and schedule shipments. During the shipment preparation process,
inventory is released, pick slips are printed, shipping documents are
prepared, and the shipment is confirmed.
Once the shipment is confirmed, define a departure to specify the exact
contents. A departure may be a truck load containing x number of items
in y number of boxes defined and in z number of pallets.
After the departure is closed, the shipping process initiates the EDI
transaction through the EDI Gateway. This transaction is eventdriven
by the shipping process; it is not driven by the schedule. EDI Gateway
can be used to reinitiate the process, if necessary.

Outbound Ship Notice / Manifest Data File Organization

The data file produced by this transaction consists of seven levels of
data: delivery, delivery allowance / charges, containers, orders, items,
item allowance / charges, and item details.
Each data file contains all deliveries on the departure. A complete ship
notice is generated for each delivery. Each delivery contains both data
specific to that delivery and departure information that applies to all
deliveries on the departure. The delivery level is followed by any
allowance / charge lines that relate to the entire delivery.
Next, any loose items not in containers are represented as one or more
orders, items, item allowance / charges, and item detail records.
Finally, containers on the delivery are processed, beginning with the
outermost container and continuing with inner containers. Each
container is completely processed, listing the contents as a series of
orders, items, item allowance / charges, and item details. Since
containers may be nested to any level, processing continues in this
manner until no more containers are found. Each outer container is
completely processed, including all levels of nested containers, before
moving on to the next outer container.
Each ship notice transaction contains one set of records at the header
level, including departure data, delivery data, and all location codes and
their applicable flexfields.
The shipment header is followed by one or more sets of container data
within the delivery.
Each container consists of items from one or more purchase orders.
Within the specific purchase order, all included shipped items are listed.
Each item may have a set of item detail records for the lot or serial
numbers, and a set of allowance and charge records, if they apply. Both
the item detail and allowance / charge records are optional.

CHAPTER
Extensible EDI
Gateway Architecture
T
his chapter describes the extensible architecture of Oracle EDI

Gateway. You can use this information to customize your
implementation:

Extensible Architecture Example: page 9 5
Extensible EDI Gateway Architecture
91

While the Oracle Applications data model is robust enough to meet
most needs, you may need additional information for EDI
transactionseither now or in the futureas EDI transaction sets
change. The extensible EDI Gateway architecture gives you great
flexibility to customize your outbound EDI transactions.
Architecture Overview
Extensible EDI Gateway architecture includes:
Transactionspecific interface tables
Transactionspecific extension tables
A table of the interface tables
A table of the interface columns
TransactionSpecific Interface Tables

A series of tables with names in the format ECE_<Transaction.Name>
exist to provide as much information for specific transactions as
possible. In addition, each of these tables contain:
a foreign key to the transactionspecific extension table, called
TRANSACTION_RECORD_ID, also resides in this table. The
relationship between these two tables is onetoone.
TransactionSpecific Extension Tables

A series of tables with names in the format ECE_<Transaction.Name>_X
exist that hold data from sources other than Oracle Applications.
The primary key for this table is TRANSACTION_RECORD_ID,
referenced by the foreign key TRANSACTION_RECORD_ID in the
corresponding transactionspecific interface table.
During installation, the table is created with only one column, the
TRANSACTION_RECORD_ID column. Simple SQL statements, like the
ALTER TABLE command can be used to customize this table. You can
add to or modify this table according to your requirements for the
transaction.
92
A Table of Interface Tables

This table, named ECE_INTERFACE_TABLES, stores the starting
identifier (number) of each section of the output file. Some notable
columns include:
the composite primary key, TRANSACTION_TYPE and
INTERFACE_TABLE_NAME
TRANSACTION_TYPE, which identifies the transaction; for
example, POO (for outbound purchase order), and so on
INTERFACE_TABLE_NAME, which identifies the
transactionspecific interface table
START_NUMBER, which stores the starting identifier number of
each section in the output file
EXTENSION_TABLE_NAME, which tracks the
transactionspecific interface and extension tables that are related
A Table of Interface Columns

Data extract programs need guidelines to write output data in the
correct position of the output file. This table, named
ECE_INTERFACE_COLUMNS, stores this type of location information.
Notable columns:
Column
Description
INTERFACE_COLUMN_ID
Primary key.
INTERFACE_TABLE_ID to
ECE_INTERFACE_TABLES
Foreign key.
BASE_TABLE_NAME
The view from which data is extracted.
BASE_COLUMN_NAME
The column of the view from which data is extracted.
POSITION
The relative position on the record in the data

file.
INTERFACE_COLUMN_NAME
The column where the data is temporarily

stored in the interface table before being written to the data file.
93

Technical Overview
The Oracle EDI Gateway consists of interface tables, packaged
procedures, and setup tables used to create output data files for
outbound EDI document. The gateway is executed via the following
steps:
Execute
ECE_<EDI_document_name>.POPULATE_<EDI_document_name>_
API packaged procedure to populate the gateway. This routine
identifies row(s) of data and copies data into the EDI Gateway
interface tables: ECE_<EDI_document_name>_HEADERS,
ECE_<EDI_document_name>_LINES, and
ECE_<EDI_document_name>_ LINE_DETAILS.
(Optional) Execute customized code to populate the interface
extension tables. The EDI Gateway extension tables,
ECE_<EDI_document_name>_HEADERS_X,
ECE_<EDI_document_name>_LINES_X, and
ECE_<EDI_document_name>_LINE_DETAILS_X, are created
during the gateways initial installation. These tables are
modified by the customer to hold data elements that are not
directly extracted from the Oracle Application.
Execute
ECE_<EDI_document_name>.PUT_DATA_TO_OUTPUT_TABLE
packaged procedure. This procedures derives data from the
interface and interface extension tables to build output records.
The output record layout is defined in the EDI Gateway setup
tables ECE_INTERFACE_TABLES and
ECE_INTERFACE_COLUMNS. Formatted records are inserted
into the ECE_OUTPUT table.
Move the data from ECE_OUTPUT to a data file using the
PL/SQL package UTL_FILE.
The output file created by the Gateway reflects the data model used in
the Oracle Application, which usually contains three types of logical
records: Header, Line, and Line Detail. Using the EDI Gateway setup
tables, data from the interface tables can be mixed with data from the
94
corresponding extension table. (For example, data from

ECE_PO_INTERFACE_HEADERS can be mixed only with data from
ECE_PO_INTERFACE_HEADERS_X.) The data elements within the
physical records are fixed length fields. The fixed data length is derived
from the data dictionary.
Outbound Data File

Characteristics of output file created by the Oracle EDI Gateway
The outbound data file layout provides only one record at each
level (header, line, shipment). This is consistent with the data
model used in the Oracle Application.
The Oracle EDI Gateway ties field lengths to the Oracle data
dictionary, i.e., fixed length format.
The Oracle EDI Gateway does not currently provide formatting
options.
The Oracle data file layout is not of any particular EDI standards,
ASC X12 or EDIFACT. User has the flexibility to translate the
outbound file to whatever format is the most desirable.

Extensible Architecture Example

As an example, suppose you want to send a Ship Notice / Manifest
(856) out via EDI. Most of the required information is stored in the
application database. However, you may want to send other
information, such as truck number, container number, the name of the
driver, driver license number, driving record, and so on.
Application Base Data
Supplier Name
Client Name
Purchase Order Number
Product Number
Quantity Shipped
Date Shipped
Additional Data
Truck Number
Container Number
Name of Driver
License Number
Driving record status
95
Expected Arrival Date

Carrier
I. Modify the Transaction Specific Extension Table

You must first modify the extension table to store additional data for the
transaction.
ALTER TABLE ECE_ASN_HEADERS_X
ADD ( Truck_Num
VARCHAR2(30),
Container_Num
VARCHAR2(30),
Driver_Name
VARCHAR2(30),
....... )
II. Insert data into the Extension table

Modify the ECASNOXB.pls file to insert records into the extension
tables at execution time:
Procedure populate_extension_header(l_fkey
IN NUMBER,
l_plsql_tbl
IN ece_flatfile_pvt.Interface_tbl_type)
is
Declare new variables
xPONumber
NUMBER;
xTruckNum
NUMBER;
xContainerNum NUMBER;
xDriverName
VARCHAR2(30);
begin
Get PO number from the PL/SQL table
ece_flatfile_pvt.find_pos(l_plsql_tbl,PO_NUMBER,xPONumber);
Go to legacy system and retrieve added info
and assign it to the variables based on xPONumber.
xTruckNum
= legacy data where po_num = xPONumber
xContainerNum
= legacy data where po_num = xPONumber
xDriverName
= legacy data whree po_num = xPONumber
Insert this data into the extension table
insert into ECE_OE_SHIPPING_HEADERS_X
(transaction_record_id,
truck_num,
container_num,
driver_num)
values
(l_fkey,
xTruckNum,
xContainerNum,
xDriverName);
end populate_extension_header;
96
III. Insert data into ECE_INTERFACE_COLUMNS table

You need to insert new data column name into the
ECE_INTERFACE_COLUMNS table so that they can be included in the
output file, for example:
insert into ECE_INTERFACE_COLUMNS
(interface_column_id,
interface_table_id,
interface_column_name,
record_number,
position,
width,
data_type,
created_by,
creation_date,
last_update_login,
last_update_date,
last_update_by)
select
ece_interface_column_id_s.nextval,
eit.interface_table_id,
TRUCK_NUM,
1999,
10,
30,
NUMBER,
1,
sysdate,
1,
sysdate,

from ece_interface_tables eit
where eit.transaction_type = ASNO and
eit.interface_table_name = ECE_OE_SHIPPING_HEADERS;

Data Extraction
The extensible architecture allows the user to fetch data from sources
other than Oracle Applications and store them in the extension table.
Then you can produce, for example, the ASN with data from the
transaction specific interface table and the extension table.
In the above example, based on the Position column in the
INTERFACE_COLUMNS table, the Client_Name is the first data in the
output file, Truck_Num is the ninth field in the output file.
98
The record identifier in this section of the output file starts with 10
based on the Start_Num column in the ECE_INTERFACE_TABLES
table.
The SELECT statement:
Select ECE_ASN_HEADER.Client_Name, ECE_ASN_HEADER.PO_Num,
ECE_ASN_HEADER_X.Truck_Num, ECE_ASN_HEADER_X.Container_Num
from ECE_ASN_HEADER, ECE_ASN_HEADER_X
where ECE_ASN_HEADER.Transaction_Record_ID (+) =
ECE_ASN_HEADER_X.Transaction_Record_ID
and [other criteria]
Output
The output file produced by the EDI Gateway looks similar to the
following file:

Provide Additional Values

You may need additional values for EDI transactions not covered by the
Oracle Applications data model.
Descriptive Flexfields
Use the descriptive flexfields feature of Oracle Applications to supply
any additional information necessary to complete your EDI transactions.
Descriptive flexfields provide a flexible way of adding
implementationspecific data elements to the Applications data model
without programming. These data elements are then stored in the
ATTRIBUTE* columns in the applications tables. These ATTRIBUTE*
columns are included in the EDI Gateway interface tables for outbound
transactions and the application open interface tables for inbound
transactions.
The ECE_TP_HEADERS and ECE_TP_DETAILS tables have additional
ATTRIBUTE* columns also. This allows you to store additional
information for each trading partner that can then be placed in the
inbound or outbound data files.
If descriptive flexfields do not provide you with sufficient flexibility, you
can utilize the extensible architecture of Oracle EDI Gateway to
accommodate additional data needs.
