Just to clarify something Roger said... >> Lastly, the receiving system keeps track of what control#s have been sent >> before to avoid processing duplicates.
This is not always true. Some Trading Partners (Receivers) do not filter out duplicate Interchange or GS Control Numbers and some don't even filter out duplicate data content (!). It's getting to be fewer and fewer, but especially among "legacy" (home-grown) EDI translators, each Transaction Set Type has its own ICN series that increments independently. On the other hand, at least one VAN out there does (or used to) ignore duplicate ICNs, regardless of content (i.e., they only look as far as Sender ID + Receiver ID + ICN). I am completely forgetting which VAN it is/was.
