In ECGrid, you need to setup an MFT mailbox first along with EDI IDs for the MFT mailbox.  The qualifier should always be "MX" and the ID can be anything you want less than 15 characters.  This qual:ID is used to virtually envelope the document for routing in our system.  After you add this qual:ID, make note of the internal ECGrid ID at the bottom of the details page as you will need this for the Simplify setup.

After the qual:ID is setup, you need to setup a partnership with Simplify MFT mailbox to route it to Simplify.  The qual:ID for that is MX:SIMPLIFYPROD.
