- The version of the protocol standards; for example, X12 has versions ranging from 00100 to 00700
- The EDI sender and receiver IDs used in the EDI messages
- The kind of acknowledgments generated; for example, functional or technical acknowledgments
All these can be defined in X12 or EDIFACT agreements in an integration account.
