I'm receiving x12 transactions from my trading partner and they require a 997. I'm not sure where to start in attempting to create one.
I thought possibly using a branch but how would I account for multiple transactions in one file? Then I thought about putting it after the import that puts the 940/943 on my system, but I don't know how to make it count how many transactions came through.
Any ideas?
@jackharris what I've done in the past is have 2 flows strung together. The first flow picks up the file, backs the file up to another directory, then does not specify a path to records on the export. By not specifying a path to records, you can get the entire file in one page of data. The first flow then has an import step to send the 997. You then use the "run next integration flow" option in flow 1 settings and select flow 2. Flow 2 picks up the same file that was moved to another directory and then performs your normal actions.
I set it up and it works like a charm. How do you account for multiple transactions sent in a file? If I understand correctly, you'd need an AK5 and AK9 for each of the transactions sent.
@jackharris you should be able to set your relative path to those records within the import translator and then create that child loop like on other EDI file imports. Hopefully that makes sense.
I tried (I think) and ended up with a file without data, just the hard-coded fields. However, it does show up in the preview.
