UN/EDIFACT (96A)

[Gorazd Porenta]

Hi,

I'm serializing XML to UN/EDI 96A. Line Item Number in EDI (segment LIN, element 1082) from default configuration is decimal type (1.0, 2.0, 3.0, .....) but I would like to change it to decimal without fraction digits (integers: 1, 2, 3, .....). Is it possible and how?

Thank you and best regards,

Gorazd

Hi. It would probably be possible, but would require a bit of hacking. I think the only real option is to take the generated 96A mapping and binding jar files, unzip them, modify the mappings and then regenerate the Java from the modified mappings. That's messy but I can't see another way around it. Maybe someone else has worked out a process.

Hi!

I am experimenting with Smooks and reading and writing EDIFACT.

Is this still the only solution to write integer values? I find it quite strange that those .0s are written also for "integer" values. Many of our partners would not accept floating point values when logically integer values are expected.

Currently I am testing by writing EDIFACT structures in Java. So there's no way of changing the writing format of BigDecimal in Java code?

Thanks in advance,

Antti

Good morning Antti,

Which version of Smooks are you running?

[mobileantti]

Hi,

I am currently using 1.7.1.

Since I am on early stage on research/testing I am also able to test 2.0.0-M1 if necessary.

2.0.0-M1 has in-built support for writing EDIFACT so I'd say give it a go.

Ok, will do.

Thanks!

Hi there,

Did you confirm if the value that you want to write is under the EDI standard?

I remember a couple time ago that I had a client that wanted an specific type of document that was different with the actual standard of Edifact and I needed to override some implementations in order to have the output that they wanted,

[mobileantti]

Hi,

it is indeed valid EDIFACT. I quote the standard from UNECE site http://www.unece.org/fileadmin/DAM/trade/edifact/untdid/d422_s.htm#numeric:

 

"For values represented by integers only, neither decimal mark nor decimal zeroes are used unless there is a need to indicate the degree of precision."

And integer is more logical for example line numbers, package counts etc. I would not blame anyone if one's EDIFACT system is expecting an integer for such cases.

I have to admit that I am quite lost with starting to experiment with 2.0.0-M1. It is so different than 1.7.

With 1.7.1 I was constructing the messages like this:

BGMBeginningOfMessage bgmBeginningOfMessage = new BGMBeginningOfMessage();
C002DocumentMessageName documentMessageName = new C002DocumentMessageName();
documentMessageName.setE1001DocumentMessageNameCoded("335");
bgmBeginningOfMessage.setC002DocumentMessageName(documentMessageName);
bgmBeginningOfMessage.setE1004DocumentMessageNumber("DMN_1");
bgmBeginningOfMessage.setE1225MessageFunctionCoded("9");

I couldn't find anything similar in 2.0. Is it still possible to construct messages like this in 2.0? If it is, is there any documentation or example?

Thanks,

It is still possible. We'll improve support for Java bindings in the next milestone.
