Removing a Definition

In addition to adding and changing definitions, you can modify your local copy of an EDI standard by removing a definition. You can remove the following definitions:

l Composite references

l Element references

l Segment references

l Groups

l Repetitions

l Variations

Use care when removing references and groups, as this can have unintended consequences regarding the expected structure of an EDI document and numbering.


Tip		If you want to remove a definition because that structure is never used by the EDI documents in your organization, consider changing the definition's Modifier property to Not used. This retains the definition in the EDI Structure, but instructs the XML Converter engine to ignore it when converting EDI to XML.

To remove a definition:

1. In the EDI Structure tree, select the definition you want to remove from the EDI Structure.

2. Right-click the definition and select Remove from the short cut menu.

Alternative: Select Remove from the Stylus Studio menu.

The definition is removed from the EDI Structure tree.
