Solution

  • When you receive EDI (X12, EDIFact etc.) we can identify the party by using the header information.

    When you send "EDI XML" to a send port, the send port has no way of identifying the party in the body XML and therefore we need to "tell it" which party/agreement it is part of, so that the EDISend pipline knows what headers etc. to place on the outgoing EDI.
