APERAK



      This document is an Implementation Guide (IG) for the application error and acknowledgement message, to be used in the power industry. The IG describes the EDIFACT-message APERAK (Application error and acknowledgement message) in detail. The message is sent between parties in the power industry and is used to acknowledge messages.
      This IG is a part of the "Message handbook for Ediel", which contains a set of IG’s for different messages used in the power industry and a functional description, which contains common descriptions for the different IG’s. In the future several new IG’s are planned.
The document is written by EDI-Partner AS on behalf of Ediel.

The purpose of this message is :

  1. To inform a message issuer that his message has been received by the addressee's application, but has been rejected due to errors encountered during it's processing in the application.

  2. To acknowledge to a message issuer the receipt of his message by the addressee's application.

      If an error is detected at the application level, which prevents it's complete processing, an APERAK message is sent to the original message issuer giving details of the error(s) encountered. If no error has been detected, but an acknowledgement is necessary (when no dedicated answer to the original message exist), an APERAK message is sent describing the reasons of acknowledgement.
      In case of application error, the APERAK message will need manual processing e.g. when the underlying reason is a programming error. In case of acknowledgement the APERAK message may be manually or automatically processed at recipients discretion.
