2. Click Create EDI Layout.
3. On the Create Layout window, provide a unique EDI name and description.
   
   
   
   
4. Click Skip Compliance Check check box to skip compliance check on the file. EDI Compliance means validating the format your Partner specifies and following all of their business rules. 
5. Select the EDI data dictionary from the Data Dictionary drop-down list. 

6. Click Select Transaction to select the EDI specification for the selected data dictionary. The list of all EDI specifications or Transaction Set Code used in the selected data dictionary will be populated in the new window.
