Update

The next item determines whether the application on start-up looks for the existence of updates and newer version. Some companies have a strict policy that all updates have to be thoroughly tested before they can be implemented and users should not be faced with an option of update the application. For this case, we have the below check mark:

Log all File Processing

Checking Always Write to Log box ensures that all process messages are written to the log file regardless whether the application is run through the command line or the user interface. The HIPAA Claim Payment Master keeps track of all of the steps in processing EDI files. When the box is checked, processing steps are saved in the log.

 

The log setting determines whether process messages will be saved to the log file at all times.

The header information is repeated on each page. If this option is selected, then you can specify the rule for giving the names to your image files (see Doing Image Setup, "Individual Image Filename" options).

Document Color

The next item on the setup screen determines whether the background and labels on the printable form are in red to contrast them with the font color of black. When printing the forms to paper on a color printer you can save money and resources by choosing black. Otherwise it makes the forms much easier to read when you have background and labels in red.

Processed Files

The first setting concerns the handling of EDI files after processing. In order to avoid the duplicate processing of EDI files, we recommend that you move files after processing into an archive folder so that they are not processed multiple times. When working with copies of files, you can choose to delete the copies after processing. Always ensure that the original files are saved in a secure location. EDI files are important business documents and you want to make sure that you can access them at a later point in time for trouble shooting, audits, and other reasons. Leave in Place means the file remains in its original location and is not moved or deleted after processing.

If you use EDI Exchange, the Processed File folder is determined by the folder schema of EDI Exchange. Each trading partner has their own processed files folder. If you do not use EDI Exchange, browse to the folder where your files are stored and select it as the location.
