Upon receiving a response from the trading partner, the status icon is updated. In RealTime mode, which is used when sending single requests, the statuses after sending a request are:
| • | send failed  , |
| • | 999 received  |
| • | response received  |
Sending multiple requests
An EDI file with multiple transactions can be created by first highlighting multiple rows.

The rest is the same as sending a single request. Click on "Send to Trading Partner" to build and send the EDI file. By selecting multiple rows, an EDI file with multiple transactions is created and sent to the Trading Partner selected in the method assigned during the Trading Partner's setup. The EDI creation confirmation prompt will present the number of transactions to be created. If the Trading Partner's selected transfer mode is MIME or SOAP, the file will be sent in Batch Mode.
Confirming the creation of the file
Clicking "yes" will build the 276 EDI request and send it. Afterwards the process window will be shown. If the Trading Partner's send method is SOAP or MIME, Claim Status Checker will send a SOAP or MIME EDI request in BatchMode. Batch mode requests do not have to be processed until the next business day.
