The CONTRL acknowledgment (ACK) serves as both technical and functional acknowledgment for EDIFACT-encoded messages. As a technical acknowledgment, the CONTRL message indicates receipt of an interchange. As a functional acknowledgment, the CONTRL message indicates acceptance or rejection of the received interchange, group, or message, with a list of errors.
