hi all,
i have a problem with the sender/receiver recognition in TN.
i send an edifact file (invoic) to tn, which has the following identifier for sender/receiver recognition:
'UNB+UNOC:3+XXXXXXXXXXXXX:14+XXXXXXXXXXXXXX:14…
i found out that 14 stands for EAN…
but when i add an external EAN ID Type, the recognition does not work…
i tried it also with 31 (DIN) and it worked fine…
is it a bug?
many many thanks for your help
alex
Alex,
I believe 14 stands for DUNS Plus Suffix (ExternalID)…not for EAN Qualifier.
Sorry if i am wrong,
HTH,
RMG.
Ram,
A qualifier value of 14 is Duns plus suffix in X12, but it is EAN for EDIFACT.

Mark,
Thanks for pointing…I was assuming same applicable for X12/EDIFACT too…still wondering.
A really good way to see the difference between X12 and EDIFACT is to use a tool like SpecBuilder from EDIFECS. There are others…

I have used SpecBuilder…and EDIFACT before…but i might be missed to know about some qualifiers and calling conventions.
thanks RMG, you are right…
14 is duns plus suffix…
thanks a lot
alex
