Pending Folder

The Pending folder is part of the Attention folder. It contains copies of outgoing messages awaiting confirmation of their status. When a message is sent to the network, it is removed from the Outgoing folder and placed into the Pending folder where it remains until an acknowledgment report is received.

• Initially, a message appears in the Pending folder with the status of Awaiting Receipt Report.
•  Once the recipient receives and translates the message correctly, a Receipt report is received and the message is removed from the Pending folder.
• If an error report is received, the message is moved from the Pending folder to the Attention folder. 

• If after five days an acknowledgment is not received, the item is moved into the Attention folder with the status of Confirmation overdue. You should then contact your trading partner to query the message status and then if necessary either:
  • Retransmit the original message, or
  • Cancel the Confirmation overdue message to mark it as manually received.
