Title:MID testing in the ACE Certification Environment

Links:previous, original, next

The ACE Manufacturer Add capability was deployed to ACE Certification on August 1, 2017, as mentioned in CSMS #17-000425.

Even though the same application identifiers of $I for the input and $R for the output will continue to be used in ACE the trade is reminded that the ACE ESAR ABI Batch/Block standards will need to be followed to ensure proper processing. ACE will also require all text fields to be transmitted in upper case.

The ACE Manufacturer Add input record identifiers of $A through S4 will remain in the same format as used in ACS. The ACE Manufacturer Add output identifier records $5 through $7 will also remain the same format as used in ACS. Trade participants are encouraged to send test data for the ACE Manufacturer Add application to ensure proper processing.

The ACE CATAIR Implementation Guide for the ACE Manufacturer Add chapter can be found in the Draft Chapters for Future Capabilities tab.
