what is a 997 edi transaction
EDI 997 Functional Acknowledgment: The EDI 997 transaction set, known as the Functional Acknowledgment or FA, is sent as a response to other EDI transactions received.An EDI 997 serves as a receipt, to acknowledge that an EDI transaction, or a group of transactions, was received by the remote party.or example, a 997 sent in response to an EDI 810 (Invoice) transaction does not indicate that the pricing or terms in the invoice were accepted, only that that invoice transaction was received and identified. At the most basic level, the acknowledgement will only contain an acceptance or rejection notification.
