🤔 Problem Statement:
Use Case:
AVNET (Supplier): The supplier providing electronic components.
SNA (Retailer): The retailer purchasing electronic components from AVNET.
Goal:
To efficiently communicate price changes, discounts, and allowances for electronic components from AVNET to SNA using the EDI 845 transaction set.
Pre-conditions:

EDI systems are in place and properly configured for both parties.
Initial pricing agreements have already been established between AVNET and SNA.
Triggers:
AVNET decides to update the pricing for certain electronic components due to market changes.
📑 Pre-requisites:
a. Create a Network for which you are creating a transaction.
b. Create a Partner for the data exchange.
📄 Solution Architecture:
Design a Transaction using an EDI Outbound Pre-built template.
Create Source Schema- EDI845
Create Target Schema - Advance positional
Create a File Event activity
Create Target folder Location (LAN)
Create Mapping activity
EDI Configuration
🔍 Solution:

EDI Configuration Example:
EDI Standard | EDI Standard Version | Association Assigned Code | Transaction Set Code |
|---|---|---|---|
EDIX12 | 4010 | ACMEEDI | 850 |
EDIX12 | 5010 | XYZEDI | 810 |
EDIX12 | 6020 | ABCEDI | 856 |
EDIX12 | 4010 | SUPPLYCO | 855 |
EDIX12 | 5010 | PARTNEREDI | 830 |
EDIX12 | 6020 | TRADECO | 865 |
In the above table:
EDI Standard: Remains EDIX12 for all entries, indicating the standard being used.
EDI Standard Version: Includes different versions like 4010, 5010, and 6020, showcasing variations across releases.
Association Assigned Code: Provides unique identifiers such as ACMEEDI, XYZEDI, etc., which are typically assigned by associations or organizations involved in EDI.
Transaction Set Code: Lists various transaction types such as 850 (Purchase Order), 810 (Invoice), 856 (Advance Ship Notice), 855 (Purchase Order Acknowledgment), 830 (Planning Schedule), and 865 (Purchase Order Change).
Each row represents a different combination of EDI standard version, association assigned code, and transaction set code, demonstrating the flexibility and variability within the EDIX12 standard for electronic data interchange.
Select and configure the EDI Standard X12, EDI Standard Version 004010, transition Set Code to 845
On EDI Configuration step, do the following:
Type the last used transaction control number in the Last used Transaction Control No text box.
Expand Group Envelope Properties and define the properties.
EDIX12 (Electronic Data Interchange X12) is a standard developed by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). In EDIX12, separators are used to define the structure of the data segments and elements. The key separators in EDIX12 include:
Segment Terminator:
Typically a tilde
~Used to mark the end of a data segment.
Element Separator:
Typically an asterisk
*Used to separate individual elements within a segment.
Sub-element Separator (also known as Composite Element Separator):
Typically a colon
:Used to separate sub-elements within a composite data element.
Expand ISA Envelope Properties and define ISA Envelope.
2, Define Source: Select the File source application
Select the Source type as Advance Positional and click next to configure File Event
Define Layout: Click Next to select the File Event from drop-down list.
3.Set Destination
Define the Destination application account.
Click Next to define the file generation policy details.
The Defined File name and extension will generate the output file as shown in the screenshot below.
The extension is extensively used to generate the output file to the recently updated data and time.
On File Generation Policy step, type the extension of the file in the File Extension text box
Click Next to define the encryption. Select Want to encrypt target file? check box if you want to encrypt the destination file
In the specified routing rule, the identifier Xpath is retrieved from the mapping on the source side. Within the Element name "Distributor," the value "AVNET" is specified in the respective field.
4.Create Mapping
Create Data Mapping >>Load Source and Target Schema
Create/Add Variables
Let's create a variable using the following name: VarGetPosition
Condition Applied: get-context( 'TotalLIN', '')
The purpose of get-context('TotalLIN', '') is to fetch data associated with the context named 'TotalLIN'
Check for the data input.
