Find Messages #

The Find: Messages windows are where you can input the criteria to search for a message. The Properties tab varies depending on which Find window is open. The more search criteria you enter, the more you narrow down your search.

If you select Signing as a message type, a Signing Reference field appears: if you select CLASS, an UCR field appears.

The Find: EDI JV Message window has the same input fields as the two windows in the Batches and Status tab. However, the input fields in the Properties tab varies dependent if you are searching for Limnet or JV messages. In addition the Find EDI JV Message window also includes a Business tab. .

Stamp Number: Each LIMNET message has a stamp number that identifies the general business area for the message. Type in the stamp number for the messages you want to view.

Type: A message contains information relating to signings, settlements, delinked or claims for LIMNET and RETACC, RESETT, REBORD, RECLAM or REDIAL for JV. This information is called the type. Use the drop-down list to select the batch type: RETACC, RESETT, REBORD, RECLAM, REDIAL, Signing, Settlement, CLASS, or None.
