Abstract: The web-enabled system provides an electronic document exchange environment where transactional information is received by the system in one format, translated to a second format, and sent. The system allows its users to bypass the costs involved in owning or accessing an EDI translator or a value-added network and generates and sends an electronic receipt for auditing purposes. In addition to the translation of information, the system creates the functional acknowledgment message (the electronic receipt), associates it with the transactional information, and sends it to the intended recipient. The functional acknowledgement message is then returned to the system by that recipient. The system may translate the functional acknowledgement to the first format or may not. Once received, the system then sends the acknowledgement to the original provider of the transactional information. This loop allows the originator to determine whether its transactional information was received.
