RETANN Announcement for returns message (D98B)
This is the standard EDIFACT D98B spec, with 24 loops and 72 segment positions, as OpenEDI JSON, an ediFabric C# template and an ediFabric Native model. To change it for a trading partner, customize it in the EDI Spec Builder.
Use the RETANN spec in your code
ediFabric .NET
Add the C# template and its common files to your project, or reference the template NuGet package, and read RETANN files into TSRETANN objects. See ediFabric .NET.
ediFabric Native
Native supports X12 today, and EDIFACT is coming. When it's available, map version D98B to this Native model with set_map to parse RETANN files to JSON from Python, Java, C or C#. See ediFabric Native.
OpenEDI
Select Customize in Spec Builder to copy the spec under your own name, change it for your partner, and parse files against it in EdiNation, ediFabric Native or ediFabric Cloud. Read about OpenEDI.
Generate RETANN classes in Python, Java, Node.js, Go, Rust or C
The OpenEDI file describes each RETANN as JSON. To work with RETANN data as typed objects, generate classes from the OpenEDI file in your language; the root class is TSRETANN. The classes keep the loops, segments, lengths and code lists, but not the EDI data formats. Read more in Generate a class from OpenEDI.
