ConfirmBOD

OAGIS BOD combining the Confirm verb with the BOD noun. Direct canonical equivalent of EDI EDIFACT CONTRL and X12 997 messages in OAGIS 10.x's Cross-cutting domain.

BOD purpose

The ConfirmBOD is OAGIS's generic business confirmation: it carries the processing decision for any previously received BOD (success, application error, business exception). Functional equivalent of EDIFACT CONTRL or X12 997, but at application level rather than purely syntactic.

Structure (ApplicationArea + DataArea)

Like every OAGIS BOD, ConfirmBOD stacks an ApplicationArea technical envelope (Sender, BODID, CreationDateTime) and a business DataArea that contains the verb and the noun.

• OriginalApplicationArea — copies the received BOD envelope (BODID, sender) for correlation.
• BusinessObjectDocument — reference to the original BOD (name, version).
• ConfirmationResponse — status (Success, Error, Warning) + detail per processed line.
• Confirm verb.
