ISA and GS Envelope Configuration
The ISA (Interchange Control Header) and GS (Functional Group Header) segments define the identity of both sender and receiver. SyteLine's EDITradingPartner form stores these values and injects them into every outbound envelope. The ISA05/ISA07 qualifier codes (ZZ, 01, 08, 12) must match exactly what the trading partner expects, and the ISA06/ISA08 identifiers are padded to fixed lengths per the X12 standard.
- Set ISA05 sender qualifier to match your assigned code type (ZZ for mutually defined, 01 for DUNS)
- Configure ISA06 with your organization ID padded to exactly 15 characters in EDITradingPartner
- Map ISA07/ISA08 to the trading partner's qualifier and ID from their onboarding documentation
- Define GS02 (Application Sender) and GS03 (Application Receiver) codes for functional group routing
- Enable ISA14 acknowledgment flag to request 997/999 functional acknowledgments automatically
Communication Protocol and VAN Settings
SyteLine supports AS2, SFTP, and VAN-based communication for EDI document exchange. The communication profile linked to each trading partner in the EDICommProfile table defines connection parameters, encryption requirements, and retry policies. AS2 connections require MDN (Message Disposition Notification) configuration for delivery confirmation.
- Configure AS2 URL, certificate, and MDN settings in EDICommProfile for direct connections
- Set SFTP host, port, directory paths, and SSH key for file-based exchange partners
- Define VAN mailbox routing with sender/receiver IDs matching ISA envelope qualifiers
- Enable automatic retry with exponential backoff for failed transmission attempts
- Set up communication logging in SLEDILog table for audit trail and troubleshooting
