Binary characters in EDI 997 FA

Hi All,
I am getting binary characters in EDI 997 FA. It seems that CRLF is being replaced by HEX 0xE0B48A. The delimiters set in the document control parameters screen are as follows:
Segment Delimiter 0x0d0a (CRLF)
Element Delimiter 0x2a (*)
Subelement Delimiter 0x7e (~)
The 997 content is (the segment delimiter is not correct):
*070827*1802*U*00401*000001018*0*P*~ഊGS*FA*CIENA*EDIDEPOTP*20070827*1802*1018*X*004010ഊST*997*1014ഊAK1*PO*3677ഊAK2*850*36770001ഊAK5*AഊAK2*850*36770002ഊAK5*AഊAK2*850*36770003ഊAK5*AഊAK2*850*36770004ഊAK5*AഊAK9*A*4*4*4ഊSE*12*1014ഊGE*1*1018ഊIEA*1*000001018ഊ
Any idea what went wrong?

Create EDI 997 with conversion agent

Hello,
I work with conversion agent by ItemField to convert EDI messages to xi and from XI to EDI.
I succeeded to receive EDI 850, to parse this message and to transfer it to the IDOC and create purchase order.
Now I try to send back to the customer EDI acknowledgment (997).
I'll be happy to hear if someone use with conversion agent to create EDI 997.

Hi Elad,
What are 997s?
997 Functional Acknowledgments are EDI transactions that a receiver of EDI transaction sets sends back to the party that sent the EDI transaction sets. All EDI transactions require an EDI 997 to be sent back.
Here is an example
Wal-Mart sends an EDI Purchase Order to a supplier. With EDI Standard X12, Wal-Mart expects a 997 to be sent back to them. The 997 lets Wal-Mart know that the supplier received the Purchase Order. It does not say that the supplier accepts the terms or conditions of the purchase order. It simply lets them know that the supplier successfully received the Purchase Order.
Here is another example. A supplier sends Wal-Mart an EDI Invoice. Wal-Mart will send a 997 back to the supplier. The 997 informs the supplier that Wal-Mart has successfully received the invoice.
CovalentWorks handles all of your EDI transactions for you, including 997s, as an outsourced EDI service. If you choose us as your EDI provider, our system will automatically send and receive all your 997 Functional Acknowledgements. And every one of them is processed for you at no charge.
Thanks,

EDI 997 flow

Hi,
I am working on EDI transaction. We recieve EDI 101 transaction and send EDI 997 functional Ack.
I configured B2B to handle EDI 997 ack. I set Document Protocol Parameters in host side (ProcessBA_997 - 1.0) - Initiator and client partner side (ProcessBA_997 - 1.0) - Responder. B2B is able to send 997 transaction to configured transport protocol.
The issue is that B2B is taking the Document Protocol Parameters values (to generate ack) from Host side and not a client partner side parameters. This parameters will vary for client parnters.
Kindy advise me how to override the host side document protocol parameters. Thanks in advance.

If you want a custom FA as per the trading partner then better approach will be inserting the FA from backend.
Receive the message B2B to backend then change as per your requirement and insert FA again to B2B.

EDI 997 generation feature of B2B

Hi all,
Customer wants to the EDI 997 enabling for B2B They had set up Inbound 810 Transaction for a Remote Trading Partner and have used "EDIX12 over Generic Exchange" as the Exchange Proto. In the Operational Capability they have set the Is Functional Acknowledgement Required Property as True with the assumption that a EDI 997 will be generated for the corresponding EDI 810 received.But when they tested that with a sample file, they get error in B2B saying "Unable to identify the document protocol of the message" and it is showing the Business Action as Acknowledgement. They then set the property Is Functional Acknowledgement Required Property as False and tested but they are getting the same error.
Any pointers will be helpful.
Thanks in advance,
Senthil

Hi Ramesh,
I would briefly explain our set ups.
1. We have set up Remote Trading Partsnow which will send us an Inbound 810 Invoice file which has to be processed by B2B. The set up is working fine and the EDI file is getting translated to EDIFECS XML and there are no errors being
thrown.
2. As per the Business Requirement,a corresponding FA should be generated for the inbound 810 file. We set up the FA by referring to the B2B Technical note mentioned in the link below:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/integration/b2b/pdf/B2B_TN_006_Acknowledgements.pdf
We created a new Business Action for FA and attached the Business Action to the Partsnow Trading Partner(remote trading partner) Agreement.
The FA is getting generated but it is not in the expected format. Many additional segments are also coming up in the output FA file.
We already have a TAR# 6174945.992 open for this issue but we are yet to get any resolution on this.
It would be great if you could provide some inputs on whether we are missing any set ups.
Please let me know your contact info so that i can have a conf call with you and get the issue resolved. I am currently working in EST time zone and we are nine and half hours behind you. So please let me know when it is suitable for you to have the conf call.
My contact number is 484-318-1969.
Thanks In Advance.

Does anybody has idea why it's printing weird chars
in server.logMaybe you told it so? Maybe the server simply does it for some reason? Maybe the logger does it? Maybe you use the wrong codepage? Many causes, almost none in the scope of this forum.
You didn't even say which logger or server you use.

Save as Text contains 3 binary characters

We have recently converted to BO XI 3.0. When I save a report as text three binary characters are placed at the beginning of the file. They are EF BB and BF. What is causing the three binary characters and how do I get rid of them. It is preventing me from importing the text file into other databases.

Receiving EDI 997 into SAP

Hello,
I am having trouble understanding how a 997 inbound into SAP would be reflected in the system (we are receiving a 997 from the vendor based on a PO we send out)
1. Where would the 997 be reflected in the PO? Would this be a new confirmation category under the 'Confirmation' tab?
2. What basic idoc type/message type would be used?
Thanks for the help!!

Hello Tiffanie
The EDI 997 message is a functional acknowledgment which corresponds to an acknowledgement IDoc in SAP. This acknowledgment is reflected in the EDI/ALE status of the outbound IDoc.
Example:
I created a purchase order and sent it as outbound ORDERS.ORDERS05 IDoc (no = 414840).
For this outbound IDoc I created an inbound ALEAUD IDoc. Processing the acknowledgement IDoc (WE19, inbound fm IDOC_INPUT_ALEAUD) Idoc 414840 received an additional status 41 = Application document created in target system.
To be honest I do not know whether this IDoc acknowlegement is somehow reflected in the original purchase order but I doubt this is the case.
The ALEAUD01 IDoc looked like this:
Header E1ADHDR:
MESTYP     ORDERS
MESTYP_LNG     ORDERS05
Status E1STATE:
DOCNUM     0000000000414840
STATUS     53
STATXT     DOCUMENT PROCESSED SUCCESSFULLY IN APPLICATION
STAMQU     SAP
STAMID     IDOC_ADPAPTER
STAMNO     000

EDI 997 Schema

Hi
Can anyone please let me know do we have a inbuilt schema for EDI 997 with this target namespace
http://schemas.microsoft.com/EDI/X12#X12_997_Root .
I'm trying to process inbound EDI 997 file and store the data in a custom table. I couldn't find the schema matching exactly the same target namespace mentioned above. Please let me know how could i extract values from EDI 997 files in my orchestration?

John,
I've added the reference to the Edi.BaseArtifacts.dll. Could we create a schema with this dll? Please tell me detailed steps to create a schema in VS2012 with http://schemas.microsoft.com/EDI/X12#X12_997_Root

EDI 997 - Functional acknowledgement

Hi,
Our requirement is to send and recieve functional acknowledgement through EDI.
What is functional Acknowledgement?
Can any one help me out in using functional acknowledgement?What is the message type and functional modules involved for processing functional acknowledgement.Once I recieve a funtional acknowledgement where should that data be updated?
Any help in this regard would be appreciated.
Regards,
Nagaraju Donikena.

Swapnil Bachal thanks for your help.This would be helpful when I recieve functional acknowledgement from my vendor.
Now my other requirement is that when ever I recieve a purchase order from my vendor I need to send 997 and also create the sales order for the PO recieved.I understand that for any inbound idoc I can configure process code which is attached to some Function module.SAP has provided with a standard function module which would create a sales order for the PO recieved.Could you please advice on how to send the 997 simultaneously.

Process Inbound EDI 997(ACK)

Hi
Is there any way to process inbound EDI997 files. I tried to process the 997 files with a orchestration but got the below error.
The output message of the receive pipeline "Microsoft.BizTalk.Edi.DefaultPipelines.EdiReceive, Microsoft.BizTalk.Edi.EdiPipelines, Version=3.0.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" failed routing because there is no subscribing
orchestration or send port.
The sequence number of the suspended message is 1.
I'm sure the orchestration has no issues since i have processed other files like 214,204, 210 etc.
I want to extract the acknowledgement details from 997 files and log it into a custom table. Please let me know is there any way to do this.
Thanks in advance.

As described in the other post, the 997 Schema is included in Microsoft.BizTalk.Edi.BaseArtifacts.dll.
Since it's generated internally, you cannot change the namespace of the generated message.
You can use the ESB Toolkits Remove and Add Namespace components to customize the 997 for you app:

Hi,
You can query for Business Actions using this:
select name, revision, cfg from tip_businessaction_rt;
If you do not have a lot of TPs and documents configured, I suggest that you purge the entire repository and start over. This way, you can start clean building the 850/997 scenario. Otherwise, you can also purge the retired configurations. This way, the excess 997 that may have been used previously are deleted.

Adapter Modules & split 997 channel reqd for splitting Edi and Acknowledgement

Hi,
I am using PI 7.11 with B2B add-on installed.We will be using AS2 adapters ,as of now
configured file adapters in place of it.
This B2B scenario does not consists of Party because 1 sender and 1 receiver system is involved as of now.
May be client provides identifiers details and include party.
In my previous B2B scenario(PI 7.3) involving Seeburger , AS2 channel was configured with(image shown below)
SeeClassifier,BIC, message splitter modules and Split997 channel for splitting EDI PO and Functional Acknowledgement.
What are the adapter modules that will be required in case of B2B add on (PI 7.11)and does it requires
EDI separator channel for splitting EDI doc & Func Ack.What can be the other probable issues.
How we will monitor the messages and Ack once its implemented end to end?
Regards,
Mayank Yadav

Hey Mayank,
Inbound Scenario configuration: (3 step)
1) Sender AS2 (EDI messages) -----> EDI separator receiver (no mapping required here; EDI separator is used to split bulk EDI messages and configure acknowledgements (997) if required)
2) EDI separator sender (with message type(eg.850),version and sender ID/receiver ID configuration; here X12convertor module is used to change raw edi into XML) ----> Idoc or any receiver channel (inbound)(here you have your actual mapping)
(if 997 is configured as requested in the first step; then you need to handle the 997 generated by EDI separator)
3) EDI separator sender (997 message type,version,reverse combination of sender ID,receiver ID) to Receiver AS2 ( no modules required pass through)
Outbound Scenario configuration
1) sender channel (say Idoc) to AS2 receiver (requires mapping)
997 file can be sent back by partners (EDI 997 as acknowledgement)
this will be taken care like any other inbound message) which can be then converted to SYSTAT IDOC or so to track the status of outbound message.
B2B status tab in PI monitoring helps you track acknowledgements
Hope this answers your question:
What are the adapter modules that will be required in case of B2B add on (PI 7.11)and does it require
EDI separator channel for splitting EDI doc & Func Ack.What can be the other probable issues.
How we will monitor the messages and Ack once its implemented end to end?

EDI-ANSI X12 :::: 997

Hi All,
I am new to the EDI and getting confused with the ANSI X12 code 997. As I know that it's the Functional Acknowledgement, I cant able to get the use of it. Can any 1 please brief me abut this as we always get some errors regarding this during monitoring.
Please help me out.
Thanks.

Hey
A very simple example can be getting functional acknowledgment against Purchase Orders.
I recently worked on interface where the Business partner was sending us the purchase Orders(EDI 850) and we were sending back functional acknowledgment(EDI 997) stating them that we got their purchase order successfully and the data is in correct format.
Similarly you can get 997 against 810,860,820,830 etc
Thanx

What is difference between TEXT mode and BINARY mode?

Hi,
          What is difference between TEXT mode and BINARY mode? In TEXT mode what is "ENCODING DEFAULT".
OPEN DATASET wl_filename FOR INPUT
                          IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
OPEN DATASET wl_filename FOR INPUT
                          IN BINARY MODE .

Hi vishnu,
1. files like .TXT files are considered to be text,
   and other files like .EXE . DOC etc are binary files.
2. In text files, after each line, there are two
   internal binary characters
one for line feed and another one for newline.
3. But, we don't have any meaning for it,
   when we view such files in notepad, for eg.
   Hence, to only get the understandable content,
   we should open such TXT files, in text mode.
(we can also open them in binary mode,
but we will get two extra characters after each line,
   and such two extra characters are meaningless
for interpreting the text)
4. In binary mode, each byte by byte is considered,
   without any meaning.
regards,
amit m.
