EDI Acknowledgment Reconciliation
As your trading partners acknowledge your messages, Partner Manager automatically and updates their acknowledgment status. If you want to be notified, you must specifically configure acknowledgment settings when you create the message.
If you are expecting to receive functional acknowledgments from your trading partners, you must configure the acknowledgment settings when creating the outbound message flow.
When your organization receives the functional acknowledgment (X12 997) from the trading partner, the status of the corresponding outbound transaction is updated. Possible status updates include:
-
Accepted -
Rejected -
Overdue, if the the functional acknowledgment is not received within the specified time period
The following are examples of the actions your operations team might take while troubleshooting acknowledgment issues:
-
Retriggering the transaction from the backend system when reviewing rejected transactions due to missing data elements
-
Asking your trading partner to confirm the receipt of the outbound transaction when reviewing overdue transactions
Troubleshoot Rejected or Overdue Acknowledgments
You can view all the outbound transactions that have either received a 997 rejection or that are overdue for the functional acknowledgment:

When you are reviewing a 997 rejection, you see the X12 997 payload received from your trading partner.

Enter a review comment, indicating the action taken on the transaction’s acknowledgment status and click Mark reviewed.

After an overdue or rejected transaction is marked as reviewed, it is no longer displayed in the transaction Activity page when you search for transactions with the acknowledgment status of Overdue or Rejected. You see only the transactions that are not reviewed by your operations team.
