Receiving an EDI transaction and passing it through the
communications interface stage usually requires:
A. translating and unbundling transactions.
B. routing verification procedures.
C. passing data to the appropriate application system.
D. creating a point of receipt audit log.
Answer / guest
Answer: B
The communications interface stage requires routing
verification procedures. EDI or ANSI X12 is a standard that
must be interpreted by an application for transactions to be
processed and then to be invoiced, paid and sent, whether
they are for merchandise or services. There is no point in
sending and receiving EDI transactions if they cannot be
processed by an internal system. Unpacking transactions and
recording audit logs are both important elements that help
follow business rules and establish controls, but are not
part of the communications interface stage.
