Processing Return Receipts

The AS2 Task provides the option of receiving delivery confirmation in the form of a Receipt. If a Receipt is desired, use the Request Receipt drop-down list to select signed or unsigned receipts. Receipts that are signed ensure authenticity. Signed messages and receipts are considered a Non-Repudiation of Receipt (NRR), which is a “legal event” indicating that both party’s identities and the message’s integrity are valid.

When using receipts, an AS2 Task Output variable can be defined and used elsewhere in the Project to control how other tasks function based on the receipt message or status. If a receipt is requested, the following Receipt Destinations or types are available:

Synchronous Receipt Types

In a synchronous scenario, the connection remains open between

Managed File Transfer

and the AS2 server until a receipt is received or a timeout occurs. The following options request synchronous receipts:

Job log: The receipt will be saved to the Project's Job Log.
File: The receipt will be written to a specified file.
Discard: The receipt will be processed and verified, but not stored.

Asynchronous Receipt Type

In an asynchronous scenario, the connection closes immediately after the transmission is complete. When the AS2 server is finished processing the message, the server will open a new connection and send the receipt. The following options request asynchronous receipts:

Email: The receipt is sent to the specified email address. Email receipts may be delayed and possibly not supported by the trading partner's AS2 server.
URL: The receipt will be sent to the specified URL.
