With the introduction of the APERAK process on June 6, 2025, responses to EDIFACT messages will become a mandatory part of market communication.
ELEMENT:APERAK Import allows you to reliably receive and import incoming APERAK and CONTRL messages and ensures a clear mapping to the originally sent EDIFACT messages. This provides you with a transparent overview of the status of your market communications—including positive, negative, or pending responses. As such it helps you sustainably improve data quality and process reliability in your communication processes.
Embedded in our SOPTIM Elements solution platform, we offer seamless integration into your system landscape.
