In EDI eCommerce, turnaround data is data imported into a business document that does not have an equivalent field in the database. However, the system must retain the imported value so that it can be included in an associated exported file.

This section describes the steps used to define turnaround data in inbound and outbound implementation definitions. It includes an example based on a customer’s requirement to include a department number from the original imported purchase order on the associated exported invoice.
