Search

The Search window is a large screen of parameters that allows you to refine criteria used to retrieve the copies of EDI transaction documents sent to your trading partners for business conducted through Trading Partner Connect.

The top section of the screen gives you search options that help narrow your search in general terms. It consists of a three option radio button, a pair of drop down menus, and a series of range fields.

After setting these parameters, you may perform a search by clicking the Search button, or you may proceed to the rest of the parameters to refine your search by establishing its boundaries.

Parameter:	Description:
Primary Tracking Number (Envelope Version)	This is a tracking number assigned to a trading partner/transaction type combination. Note that this number can exist more than once in the system, but it will not exist more than once for each combination of trading partner and transaction type.
TPCx Transaction ID	Transaction ID uniquely identifies the particular transaction associated with this summary record.
Transaction Control Number	This is an internal tracking number used by Activant, unique to each transaction. It is the same number that is generated by your enterprise software for the PO or invoice.
