EDI 820 EDI to XML conversion error

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

We have configure EDI 820 Inbound Scenario in our system. The incoming EDI 820 file  is not getting converted in XML from EDI. I try to convert it into XML in BIC Mapping Designer but it is displaying the below error message.

"Error:ID=2099;LEVEL=1] InhouseDocReader doSyntaxCheck(): offset[326]: the found segment

ENT is not in the message description.

DESCRIPTION: InhouseDocReader Error: The Segment

ENT is missing in the message description. Check your file."

Please find below the EDI file.

Dear Abdul,

I copied the file from your posting into a text-file and tried to convert it with my 820 BIC-Mapping.

I just had to make two modifications:

- add some spaces so that the Sender/Receiver fields in the ISA segement were 15 fields long

- remove a "space" before ENT*1, but this space might also just have been there because of how you posted the content into this posting.

After I had made this small changes the file could be translated perfectly fine with the mapping

See_E2X_ANSIX12_820_V4010

So it looks like eitehr your settings are not correct in the channel (e.g. a wrong mapping is used) or the file has been modified manually (with some additional blanks, CRLF, etc...)

Hi Abdul,

From the error it clearly tell that some the segment ENT is missing, are you sending the message in correct formate?
