About your Trading Community

Trading Grid Online allows you to create and manage trading partnerships by providing three types of partnerships.

A Standard Trading Partnership is where you send (and receive) transactions with that Trading Partner only. After you set this up, you can then:

Automatically forward documents you receive from this partner to other users using a distribution list.

Automatically send a copy of documents you send to this partner to other users via a distribution list.

An Open Trade is where you can send (and receive) transactions with any Trading Partner within Trading Grid Online. This is the simplest and most convenient trading type in that you can trade with other “open” traders without having to set up any trading partnerships. An Open Trade

Allows you to exchange documents with any Trading Partner that requests to trade with you at that EDI address.

Enforces a 50-50 split billing process. This means your company pays for all the transactions that you send and the receiver's company pays for the transactions that you receive and for the storage of that mailbox.

A Group Trade is a partnership set up between you and a group EDI addresses and then send a copy of documents that you send to this Group to other partners using a distribution list. If you set up an Open Trade, the EDI address that you specify can send (and receive) interchanges to any trading partner within Trading Grid Online.
