The carbon copy feature enables the delivery of an electronic copy of a message to one or more recipients. A carbon copy message can be generated when you send or receive a message. 

For example, a 3PL may want a copy of the inbound purchase order from a specific trading partner or you need a copy of an invoice to go another system.  A carbon copy is setup to replace the ISA and GS (if necessary) EDI IDs so the documents can be routed to their respective mailboxes.  Carbon copies are setup by document. 

To create your own carbon copies, please see the attached step by step documentation.

*Please note: There is no extra fee for carbon copies. You will only be charged for the kc's in the extra file, per your contract.
