Edifact D01B - Mapping INVOIC to XML example?

[Josef Peuermann]

Hey community :)

I am trying to set up a mapping from edifact INVOIC D01B to an inhouse XML format.

There are some errors I am running into and I was wondering if there was a demo-mapping for the edifact INVOIC D01B to some XML format. The only one I found was a mapping for D96A and this one is quite different from D01B, it seems.

Any help is much appreciated.

Regards,

Joe

Here is an error I am currently facing: InMessageError: [M51]: Edi file does not start with a valid interchange.

What does this mean? The file starts with an UNB-line (like it's supposed to). Is this error thrown from the grammar or the mapping?

[Eppye Bots]

it means the read file does not  start with a valid interchange.

might eg mean there is no valid UNZ

when a edifact is read there is always a global check to see if there are one or more valid interchanges.

Thanks for the timely response.

According to the grammar?

Because the grammar file starts with the definition of UNH and ends with the one of UNT:

My test files start with UNH:

And end with UNT:

Or could the error be anywhere in the files?

[Eppye Bots]

yes, the definition of UNB/UNZ is in a grammar.

edifact files never start with UNH.

UNH-UNT is a message.

messages are contained in an interchange/envelope (UNB-UNZ).

so your test file is not a valid edifact file.

I adapted file to match the grammar (since the grammar includes no UNA/UNB/...).

Where is the UNA/UNB/... specified?

[Josef Peuermann]

This is the original file:

But upon importing it, I receive the follwing error:

MessageError: [S50]: Line:1 pos:1 record:"UNB": message has an error in its structure; this record is not allowed here. Scanned in message definition until mandatory record: "UNH".

That's why I adapted it.

in route:

editype = edifact

messagetype = edifact

I see, thank you.

So to properly read this file, I suppose the edifact definition is already correct:

My guess would be the error coming from the envelope queries?

How would my file have to look in order for the queries to check out?

Our partner ensured me, they are up to D01B standard 😅

[Henk-Jan Ebbers]

yes, send the file.

there are often errors in testfiles.

Alright, here you go. Thanks.

Thank you. I will take a look at my setup and report back (hoping the information helps another lost soul in the future :D).

Regards

Joe

[Josef Peuermann]

I edited my setup to the hopefully correct configuration.

The error thrown now is:

MessageError: No (valid) grammar for editype "edifact" messagetype "INVOICD01BUNEAN011".

My grammars look as follows (directly downloaded from the sourceforge hub):

Do I have to rename the file for D01B or am I missing the correct download?

Regards

Joe

[Henk-Jan Ebbers]

yes, rename is needed here.

Thank you. Now the only thing that's missing is the translation.

Are there any demo-translations from D01B INVOIC to whatever (mappings)?
