EDIFACTPrescanner

Example

Prescanning allows data to be scanned for information such as transaction type and trading partner group. This information can then be used to proceed with processing data in an appropriate manner. For example: If the EDIFACT data contains a UNG07-01+02 (or, if there is no UNG, the UNH02-02+03) value of D:96A AND a UNB1-1 value of 3, Instream should use the D96A guideline for validation.
