TRADACOM Wizard screen allows you to define your TRADACOM message format according to your own file format.

Tradacoms is an early standard for EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) primarily used in the UK retail sector. It was introduced in 1982 as an implementation of the UN/GTDI syntax, one of the precursors of EDIFACT, and was maintained and extended by the UK Article Numbering Association (now called GS1 UK).

As Babelway supports all TRADACOM transaction sets of the TRADACOM standard, you can use any of them in your own gateway setup.

To define a message in TRADACOM format, select an existing template or make a copy of the generic TRADACOM template in the catalogue and following screen will be displayed.
