EDI Translation Object Browser

EDI Translation Object browser allows you to view, print, delete, and register translation objects.

The following illustrates the EDI Translation Object browser.

The following lists the parts of the EDI Translation Object browser and their functions.

Part Function
Type Describes the type of translation object defined, such as export, import, or system import.
Description Displays a description that further identifies the translation object.
Used Indicates whether the translation object is currently associated with an Inbound or Outbound Partner Relationship. Valid values are:
  • Yes - Indicates the translation object is in use.
  • No - Indicates the translation object is not in use.
  • SYS* - Indicates a system translation object that is in use.
  • SYS - Indicates a system translation object that is not in use
Note: If a translation object is currently used (associated with an Inbound or Outbound Partner Relationship), you cannot delete it. Also, the system prevents you from deleting translation objects that are designated as system translation objects (SYS* or SYS).

System Translation Objects are all translation objects except Import, Export, Data Entry, Screen Entry, Turn Around, and Print. Also, any translation object with “system” in the description is a system translation object.

View Displays a window containing descriptive information for the selected translation object, including the following:
  • Description of the translation object
  • Type of translation object (for example, Export)
  • Input and output agency (for example, X for ANSI X12)
  • Input and output version (for example, 003030)
  • Input and output transaction ID (for example, 850)
  • Input and output release (for TRADACOMS only)
  • File name of the translation object (for example, 3030.tpl)
Print Displays the Print Choice dialog box, which allows you to specify whether you want to print the selected translation objects or print a summary list of the selected translation objects.
Note: The Formatted option is unavailable because a formatted version is always printed for a translation object.
