Changing ISA Envelope Information Defaults

The fields in the ISA Envelope Information section of the EDI Trading Partner Profile Maintenance screen display defaults associated with your network provider. If your network provider requires changes, you can change the defaults.

To change ISA envelope information defaults:

  1. Display the record for a trading partner on the EDI Trading Partner Profile Maintenance screen.

Note: If prompted, log on to the character-based system.

The ISA envelope information fields are set to the defaults listed in the following table. Change the ISA envelope information defaults only if requested by your network provider.
