EDI documents Gentran:Server tracks the relationship between an EDI document and the
corresponding application data. For import processing, the system makes a
persistent copy of the application data at the start of processing. For inbound
(export) processing, the system assigns a unique identifier to the document, which
is then permeated throughout the system for all database entries associated with
the received document.
