better handling of partners in x12 (edifact) #354

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
In x12 edi-partner ID's are more elaborate than in edifact. 
(in edifact often a GLN is used - simple and unique)
X12 has:
- ISA ID
- ISA qualifier: indicate the type of ISA ID: GLN, DUNS, phone number etc.
- GS ID
Most of the time the ISA ID == GS ID.
To make the ISA ID unique, the ISA qualifier is needed.
But to is possible that same ISA ID/ISA qualifier has more GS ID 9more internal 
partners in same holding.
There are 2 ways to handle this correctly:
1. partnerID is a combination of ISA ID/qualifier/GS ID. Can be picked up from 
incoming X12; extract these values in enveloping.
2. Use internal partnerID. Convert this from/to ISAID/qual/GSID.
