   5. Expand Interchange Properties and select type of sequence checking from Sequence Checking. 

      

      The types of sequence checking supported by EDI ACCELERATOR and their descriptions are given below.

       

      Sequence Checking Type	Description
      None	No Sequence checking is done on control number.
      Duplicate	Duplicate means inbound document contains duplicate control numbers. If you select this option then control numbers of inbound messages should not be duplicated. In case control number is duplicated then the inbound message is not processed and an error message is generated in the EDI Interchange inbound log.
      Incremental	Incremental means control numbers should be in the incremental order. If you select this option then control numbers of inbound messages should be in the incremental order. In case control number of any message is not in the incremental order then the inbound message is processed but a warning message is generated in the EDI Interchange Inbound Log.
      Chronological	Chronological means control number should be greater than the previous control number. If you select this option then control numbers of inbound messages should be in the chronological order. In case control number of any message is not in the chronological order then the message is processed but a warning message is generated in the EDI Interchange Inbound Log.

      
      
      

      In case of Incremental and Chronological Sequence Checking:

      • Select Use Global Control No check box to use interchange control numbers defined in the trading partner activity of this inbound relationship.
