Functional Acknowledgements |
|
The Functional Acknowledgment is a message sent between trading partners to indicate that a particular EDI transaction set has been received. Functional acknowledgments are routinely sent when documents are received.
It's important to understand that a functional acknowledgment does not specify acceptance of terms and conditions, payment amounts, delivery dates, or anything else. It simply lets your trading partner know that the documents have been received and understood by the EDI system.
Functional acknowledgments are generated automatically by the EDI system.
