If the first parameter (997 Acknowledgment) is set to "Enabled" the 2

nd

parameter (Timeout for ACK (seconds)) will be set as the time out period.

A flag is raised (reconciliation flag) for every functional group of the outbound traffic. This flag will be reconciled when the corresponding 997 acknowledgement is received from the partner.

For the supplier's community, a reconciliation flag will be raised for the created outbound 850 and will be reconciled with receiving the corresponding inbound 855 Acknowledgment.

For the customer's community, a reconciliation flag will be raised for the inbound 850 and will be reconciled when the respective 855 outbound acknowledgment is created.
