EDI X12 997 Functional Acknowledgement
The EDI X12 997 message is a Functional Acknowledgment and is sent as an acknowledgment of receipt of a previously received EDI message. The receiver of the EDI X12 997 thus knows that its previously sent EDI message has been correctly received and processed in the sender’s EDI system. A customer who places an order with a supplier via an EDI X12 850 message can expect an EDI X12 997 message in response. With the EDI X12 997, the supplier informs that he has received and processed the order message correctly.
