Which of the following function in traditional EDI translate data between the standard format and trading partner's propriety format?
A. Communication handler
B. Application Interface
C. Application System
D. EDI Translator
A. Communication handler
B. Application Interface
C. Application System
D. EDI Translator
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
Explanation:
EDI Translator translates data between standard format (ANSI X12) and trading partner’s propriety information.
For CISA Exam you should know below information about Traditional EDI functions.
Moving data in a batch transmission process through the traditional EDI process generally involves three functions within each trading partner’s computer system
Communication handler – Process for transmitting and receiving electronic documents between trading partners via dial-up lines, public switched networks, multiple dedicated lines or a value added network (VAN). VAN use computerized message switching and storage capabilities to provide electronic mailbox services similar to post offices. The VAN receives all the outbound transactions from an organization, sort them by destination and passes them to precipitants when they log on to check their mailbox and receive transmission.
EDI Interface – Interface function that manipulates and routes data between the application system and the communication handler. The interface consists of two components
EDI Translator – The device translates data between standard format (ANSI X12) and trading partner’s propriety information.
Application Interface – This interface moves electronic transactions to or from the application systems and perform data mapping. Data mapping is the process by which data are extracted from EDI translation process and integrated with the data or process of receiving company.
3. Application System – The program that process the data sent to, or received from, the trading partner. Although new controls should be developed for the EDI interface, the control for existing applications, if left unchanged, are usually unaffected.
The following were incorrect answers:
Communication handler – Process for transmitting and receiving electronic documents between trading partners via dial-up lines, public switched networks, multiple dedicated lines or a value added network (VAN).
Application System – The program that process the data sent to, or received from, the trading partner. Although new controls should be developed for the EDI interface, the control for existing applications, if left unchanged, are usually unaffected.
Application Interface – This interface moves electronic transactions to or from the application systems and perform data mapping.
