EDI Profiles have a parent/child relationship with some of their components. This is similar to Sales and Purchase Orders, which consist of the orders themselves (the parent) and individual line items (the children).
The EDI Profile parent record holds the common information, such as Email addresses and subject lines and message bodies as we have already seen, or information on how to interact with FTP servers (see the section called “Using FTP to Send EDI”). This parent record also stores notes about the profile as a whole and a flag indicating whether to show the Review EDI screen to users or not when preparing to send EDI.
