Abstract
Abstract An interchange window (106) of a graphical user interface. The interchange window (106) may display at least one interchange entry (95). The interchange entry (95) is associated with an interchange (54) of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) message (50). The interchange window (106) may include a status icon (120) representing the status of the interchange (54). In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, the interchange window (106) may include a translation report sub-window (222) and a data set sub-window (220). Additionally, the interchange window (106) may display a functional group entry (96) associated with a functional group (60) of the interchange (54) and a document entry (98) associated with a document (66) of the interchange (54).
