An incoming EDI 997 Functional Acknowledgment is a document that your trading partner sends to acknowledge that they received a document you sent to them.
In EDI Group Profile Maintenance, where you define the documents you exchange with a trading partner, you can flag outgoing documents to remain in the Outgoing Status Review Queue until the system receives a 997 acknowledgment from the trading partner.
When the system receives a 997, it removes the matching document from the Outgoing Status Review Queue.
