Transaction Types
The EDI Transaction Types page contains all the transactions available in COSMO EDI. The EDI Transaction Types page is accessed using the Tell Me feature. Choose the 
icon, enter EDI Transaction Types, and then choose the related link.
The entries are created automatically during the initialization.
The entries in the EDI Transaction Types table must not be changed, because COSMO EDI requires them as constant values in the application. The entries in the table are required, for example, for the subsequent import and export of partner data.
The fields of the EDI Transaction Types are described in the following table.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Code | The unique code of the transaction. This is based on the EDIFACT naming conventions, where a six character field identifies each transaction. Therefore, it is not a typing error if the transaction for importing or exporting invoices is identified only with INVOIC instead of INVOICE, but rather the EDIFACT convention. In addition, the extension EXP or IMP is appended to the first six digits followed by a "_". This describes whether it is a transaction for importing (IMPort) or exporting (EXPort) data. Some specific transactions have extended codes, which are described in the respective topics of the COSMO EDI manual. |
| Type | Indicates whether it is a transaction for reading (import) or extracting (export) data. - Export - This is a transaction for exporting data. - Import - This is a transaction for importing data. |
| Description | Description of the transaction. |
