4.2.3.27. VAN Gateway Out
This gateway allows to send files directly a Trading Partner’s VAN via the ECGrid VAN. A Trading Partner is the company whom you are going to send documents.
The VAN gateway routes the message to its destination based on the Identifier / Qualifier pair as determined in the X12 or Edifact data. They look like this:
X12: ISA*00* *00* *ZZ*SENDERID *ZZ*RECEIVERID *010101*0101*U*00401*000000001*0*T*!
EDIFACT: UNB+UNOA:1+SENDERID:ZZ+RECEIVERID:ZZ+
For the VAN Out Gateway, your ID Is the Sender ID. Your Trading Partner ID is the Receiver ID.
When sending a message through the gateway, two things may occur:
1. The Receiver ID is known in the VAN database. If this is the case, your message will transmit properly to your receiver. The message will be successful.
2. The Receiver ID is unknown in the VAN database. The message will be a failure. If this is the case, a new Trading Partner request must be sent. To do so, send the following to support@babelway.com
- Subject: New Trading Partner Request
- Trading Partner Name
- Trading Partner Qualifier / ID Pair
- Trading Partner VAN name
Setup usually takes 5 business days depending on the receiver’s VAN. Babelway will confirm with you when the setup is complete.
Once this is complete, you may begin using the channel to send to your trading partner.
The specific settings are:
