Map Diagram

These boxes display mapped data from Apprise fields and tables to EDI transactions.

The box on the left represents the EDI transaction, and includes a header, detail, and summary section. Within each EDI transaction section are segments that contain elements. You can click the plus symbol to the left of a transaction section or segment to view its contents. Elements are underlined. Special symbols may appear to the right of an element. A symbol indicates an implemented element that needs to be mapped, and a symbol indicates a mandatory element.
